Chapter 141 Test
"This attack method feels a bit like déjà vu!"
Looking at Shisui's weapons and attack methods, Lu Nie couldn't help but think of a certain ethnic group.
But it seems that he has no real connection with that ethnic group. It's just that Shisui was strengthened by the Hougyoku according to his own characteristics.
In other words, it is the power that is materialized based on the attack characteristics of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Although Shisui never said it, in his heart he obviously regarded the power of his Mangekyo as his strongest power.
Since it is the strongest force, we naturally want to strengthen it.
But the Mangekyō and the various bloodline abilities in the ninja world still allowed Luna to grasp some inspiration.
"This kind of destructive power is shocking every time I see it! It is no less powerful than those so-called forbidden techniques."
Looking at the place that had been bombarded by a rain of arrows and whose entire landscape had become bumpy and even changed, Orochimaru looked at Shisui who had stopped as if he were looking at a treasure.
He could feel the terrifying power attached to each arrow. Depending on the amount of power invested, the size of the arrows would be different, and depending on the power attribute invested, the color of the arrows would be different.
In Orochimaru's opinion, Shisui is just one person now. As long as the Hogyoku mode can be maintained long enough, it can even directly affect the outcome of a war on a battlefield!
The attack power of one person is enough to rival that of a ninja army composed of more than a thousand Chunins!
This is a big killer!
What's even better is that although the Collapsing Jade experiment still carries considerable risks, if one goes all out and overdraws the power of the Collapsing Jade, it will be enough to create a Kage-level team!
This force is enough to affect the balance of the war.
Of course, the Collapsing Jade is still incomplete. Although the power of the Collapsing Jade is infinite like the Tailed Beast, it still has its limits. The large amount of energy consumed in a short period of time is exchanged for a long recovery period.
Death and soul are the food of this broken jade.
The soul of a ninja is a delicacy and a tonic to a Hougyoku.
It appeared because of the war that affected the ninja world. If we fail to seize this war, then the next time we want to accumulate power for the Hogyoku to try to undergo a higher level of transformation, we will have to wait until the next ninja world war.
"how do you feel?"
Same question, different scenario. The look in Orochimaru's eyes when he looked at Shisui was already like that of examining his own outstanding work.
Strictly speaking, although Shisui has not yet left the Anbu, he has always been under his jurisdiction, and everyone in Konoha Village knows this.
After all, he is now serving as Shisui's guiding jonin!
According to the rules of the Konoha Ninja School, or the rules of leading a jonin, those who are assigned to you can generally be considered your future subordinates.
If there is one that you particularly value, you can also fully establish your role as the instructor, which means it becomes a true master-apprentice relationship with inheritance.
Just like Team 7, where Naruto will be in the future, the only person who can truly be called Kakashi's disciple is Uchiha Sasuke. Kakashi has also devoted all his efforts to Sasuke, and truly trained him as his successor.
Just like the current Orochimaru team, all the top leaders of Konoha are clear that only Nara Shikagawa is the disciple who can inherit Orochimaru's ninjutsu, connections, and status in the future.
Because the energy and training that Orochimaru put into Lunai would only be more than what he put into Senju Rope Tree. As for Red Bean, although Orochimaru also recognized her as a disciple, he even treated her equally and taught her all the Orochimaru style ninjutsu that he was good at without reservation.
Judging from fighting style, Red Bean is more like the inheritor of Orochimaru than Kaname.
But her daily behavior is too different from Luna's. She is lively and outgoing, likes to play tricks on people, and is incompatible with Orochimaru, who is full of coldness. She also regards Luna as the core of the team and has no mentality or consciousness of competing with him.
As for Shisui, in the eyes of Konoha's top leaders, he is not even as good as Anko. After all, Anko is still a disciple recognized by Orochimaru.
Although Shisui was assigned to work under Orochimaru shortly after he officially joined the Anbu and has followed him ever since, everyone, including the Third Hokage, regards him as Orochimaru's subordinate.
“It’s a very special feeling.”
Shisui was out of breath, and it was obvious that the outburst and display just now had made him feel completely exhausted.
After the Collapse Jade Mode was released, he felt a dull soreness in his muscles and bones, as well as a swollen pain in his head.
"In the Collapsing Jade Mode, I can perfectly control every bit of strength in my body, and I can also forcibly absorb a certain amount of energy from the environment outside my body to replenish the chakra I consume."
"You can do this on your first try? Lan also did it many times before he gradually mastered the ability to absorb external energy to replenish his own energy consumption."
Hearing Shisui's words, Orochimaru interrupted him subconsciously, looking at Shisui with burning eyes, with an expression on his face as if he wanted to dissect him open for a closer study.
"Yes! As long as you can dynamically adjust the ratio between your own strength and the power of the Hougyoku, you can use ninjutsu. But you can simply use the power of the Hougyoku to activate your ability, but that will consume too much of the power of the Hougyoku. Your spirit will also be affected quickly."
Shisui just lowered his head and reported his feelings. "Once the balance cannot be maintained and the proportions are unbalanced, the power of the Broken Jade will affect the spirit, will and soul."
"Is that all? How does it compare to your Mangekyō?" Orochimaru didn't care about Shisui's experience and feelings, but he wanted to know the difference between the Hougyoku mode and the Mangekyō mode.
"If I were to face another pair of Mangekyō, I would be able to gain an advantage by using the Collapse Jade Mode. The destructive power of both is equally astonishing, but the Collapse Jade Mode comes at a lower cost. Judging from the power increase alone, the Collapse Jade Mode is more powerful. But on the other hand, it can also last for a shorter time."
"So you mean you can have the advantage, but it's difficult to make a detailed comparison?" Orochimaru could understand what Shisui said.
No one can control the accidents that may happen in a battle. It does not mean that whoever has greater strength will definitely win.
But Orochimaru was already satisfied that the Hougyoku mode was comparable to the Mangekyō, and even surpassed it in terms of power increase.
Lu Nie on the side showed a bit of disappointment, but it only showed on his face for a moment.
"In addition, I can feel that the power of Collapse Jade and the power of Kaleidoscope are not in conflict. If the Kaleidoscope is turned on, the power of Collapse Jade may be able to push the Kaleidoscope to another level."
PS: Thanks to Stellaris for the 1000 points reward.
