Chapter 111 Orochimaru and the Scroll [Part ]
Orochimaru allowed Lunae to use his fame and power to conduct various experiments in the technical development department, and endorsed him, just to see how far Lunae could go on the path he chose.
Although he knew that Lu Nie's research did not involve the kind of immortality he was pursuing.
His pursuit of immortality is his ultimate goal.
The immortality that Lu Nie pursued was just a byproduct of his research.
Pursuing spiritual immortality?
This is what Orochimaru, who had read Lu Nie's research and understood the secrets in it, was shocked! Because in his view, physical death is equal to death.
As for the soul?
Although there are legends about the Pure Land and the God of Death, even the Second Generation Hokage developed the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation which can summon the dead back to the world, indirectly proving the existence of the soul and the Pure Land.
But the Pure Land is not where Orochimaru wants to go! Before Lu Nie, he had never thought of this kind of immortality method of the soul. However, after Lu Nie exposed this path that he had always avoided and resisted, his vision was no longer bound by the so-called flesh, but a gap was opened.
He would not end the longevity path he had chosen, but he was happy to see how far Lu Nie could go on the path he had chosen. The scenery on that road was also what Orochimaru longed for and wanted to see.
Of course, although he insists on his own path to physical immortality, Orochimaru will not turn a blind eye to Kaname's research results and fail to learn from their strengths to make up for his shortcomings.
At least he could learn from Lu Nie's research and apply it to the forbidden technique of longevity that he created.
At the same time, Orochimaru also developed a strong interest in the tailed beasts, monsters known as natural disasters.
Compared to the three major spiritual holy places, the immortals who have survived for thousands of years by relying on special natural energy and magic, the tailed beasts seem to be the evidence to prove that Shikagawa's research is not imaginary.
A conscious chakra aggregate!
This is what Orochimaru confirmed again after reading the research data of Lunai on the tailed beasts. So if we trace the origin of the tailed beasts, can we find the origin of the immortality of the so-called chakra spirit body?
He who is closer to the Ryuchi Cave and Shikagawa who is more inclined towards the tailed beasts, their research has too many unsolved mysteries. He might not have cared about these in the past, but now, Orochimaru has developed a great curiosity and desire to explore the secrets of these ninja worlds.
As for the person who was most likely to know these secrets, Orochimaru immediately thought of a huge monster smoking a pipe.
White Snake Immortal!
The owner and strongest person of Longdi Cave!
It is also a powerful existence that all contractors who practice Ryuchidong Immortal Arts and Sage Mode must face.
However, the White Snake Immortal was not an easy person to talk to. It had all the habits that humans had of snakes, and did not care about or take care of the contractors.
If the relationship between Myobokuyama and the contractors is a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, the relationship between the Wetbone Forest and the contractors is casual and one-sided, and the relationship between the two sides is harmonious.
The relationship between the Dragon Cave and its contractors was a bit complicated. At least there were many contractors who became food for the snakes in the Dragon Cave, and the White Snake Immortal did not care about the death of those contractors.
Compared to Gamamaru who always wants to interfere in the future of the ninja world, it is more like a recorder who watches the fun. The contractor is not very important to it. But it is very happy that the contractor of Ryuchi Cave can bring some trouble to the Toad.
Myoboku Mountain needs contractors because of the predictive ability of the Great Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain. It will choose the right person at the right time to guide and influence the prophecy to actually happen. This may be a kind of practice.
However, Ryuchi Cave didn't need to do that. As long as the contract holders continued to be eliminated, the White Snake Sage could record what happened in the Ninja World. The only thing that made it unhappy and annoying was that behind all the things worth recording, there was always the shadow of Gamamaru.
Orochimaru had met the White Snake Sage and asked him about magic and questions about immortality. In his memory, the White Snake Sage was a very knowledgeable person who knew many secrets.
Unfortunately, although its human form looks very kind, its true temperament is not so considerate and gentle. Even when it comes to Orochimaru's questions, the White Snake Sage does not always answer them.
If Lu Nie continues to grow like this, the White Snake Immortal might focus on him, right? Just like himself back then! When he entered the Longdi Cave once, he was led into the depths of the Longdi Cave, where the White Snake Immortal was.
He shook his head and brought his wandering thoughts back to the scroll in his hand.
The scroll contains a bunch of notes collected and recorded by Shennong. These words may seem profound and abstruse to others, but they are Shennong’s lifelong accumulation of knowledge on medical ninjutsu and the human body.
Judging from the message Lu Nie left him, Shen Nong had also gone some distance on the road to immortality, and the data and knowledge recorded in the materials also proved that Shen Nong had indeed created a forbidden technique that could maintain his body and state at the peak for a long period of time.
When medical ninjutsu reaches the level of Shennong, the body is just like plasticine and can be controlled and kneaded at will by one's own will.
Rejuvenation, adjusting one's appearance and condition to a certain age, is not just a fantasy.
At least Orochimaru never imagined that medical ninjutsu could reach this level! After all, the medical ninja system was only taken seriously by various ninja villages after Tsunade sorted and summarized it and it shone brightly on the battlefield.
Before this, the one country, one village model of ninja villages was a first.
During the millennium of the Ninja Era, most of the fighting was between Ninja clans. At that stage, not to mention medical ninjutsu and medical ninjas, they were not mainstream at all.
At that time, all the ninjas were good at how to use ninjutsu to kill people efficiently, rather than how to use ninjutsu to save people.
Tsunade should have reached this point a long time ago, right?
Orochimaru thought of Tsunade, who had been separated for many years. Although her hemophobia prevented her from continuing to be active on the operating table, she had obviously established her own medical forbidden technique system when she left. Even if she followed the routine, I believe Tsunade can create success.
If it weren't for the war, he would have wanted to find the wandering Tsunade and do his best to convince her to participate in the development of his forbidden techniques.
But now that he is tied up, the scroll of forbidden techniques and medical knowledge of Shennong that Lu Nie sent him are enough for Orochimaru to make up for his shortcomings and gain new inspiration.
What a precious gift!
Looking at the scrolls that were opened and unopened on the table, Orochimaru couldn't help but repeat the same sentence in his heart. He was getting more and more itchy and wanted to find a laboratory to verify his new inspiration. Unfortunately, as the commander of the Iwagakure battlefield, he couldn't leave at all, and he didn't have time to carefully study the precious information sent by Lu Nie.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru sighed, rolled up the scattered scroll on the table and sealed it again, summoned a white snake, and stuffed the precious scroll into its belly through its torn mouth, watching it turn into a puff of white smoke and disappear on the table.
There are always some strange species in Ryuchi Cave and Myoboku Mountain that are not good at fighting but can play an important role for the contractor in other aspects. For example, there is a special space in the abdomen of the summoning beast that can be used to store things.
