Chapter 209
"Can you explain what virtualization is?"
Yamato was somewhat bewildered. He felt that the style of this world was disconnected from the ninja world he knew. As a member of the Root and a member of the Anbu directly under the Hokage, he had some knowledge of the ninja world.
But he was sure that this was the first time he had heard the word "hollow". But the throbbing feeling from the soul that the hollowed centipede in front of him brought to him was something he had felt before when he helped Naruto master the power of the Nine-Tails.
The same feeling of oppression!
The same sense of crisis!
The momentum and pressure that are leaked are enough to make people feel a fatal threat.
"Hollowification is when a ninja is completely alienated under the erosion of a certain force. The specific manifestation is that they will have a cavity in their body.
For a hollow ninja, their strength, chakra, body shape, and vitality will be amplified to a terrifying level.
At present, apart from the Sealing Technique, it is difficult for other Ninjutsu to completely subdue it. At least, apart from the Yin-Yang Technique, the five major Chakra attribute escape techniques cannot do it!
What's even more difficult is that according to the current information about Hollows, each Hollow Ninja has different characteristics. Therefore, it is impossible to use the same method to deal with different Hollows.
Only by paying a lot of sacrifices and collecting enough intelligence can we restrict it in a targeted manner and finally seal it with the sealing technique.
In addition, let me say one last thing: this Xu in front of me may be the most terrifying individual I have ever seen."
Maki did not hesitate to share the information he knew with Yamato and the others. In the current situation, more strength means more hope of survival.
Anyway, the opponent is also a Konoha ninja from the future ninja world, and is also an ally of the Sand Ninja.
"In other words, we must use sealing techniques to defeat the opponent?"
Yamato does know sealing techniques, and his Wood Release technique also has certain sealing properties. But looking at the centipede-like monster that has already taken shape, its body length stretched to more than ten meters, its body completely black, and purple stripes on its back, he feels it is difficult to deal with and also begins to doubt whether the sealing technique can be effective.
After all, most sealing techniques have prerequisites for them to be effective!
"You can destroy the mask on the opponent's face. But the hardness of the mask is far beyond that of some ninja tools." Maki hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Nie and asked, "Lu Nie-kun, I heard that the hollow mask was originally the result of the Cloud Ninja stealing the technical development department. Is this information true?"
"Yes." Lu Nie did not deny it. Konoha did not hide the fact that the Kumogakure envoys had stolen technology from the Technology Development Department, and it could not hide it.
However, apart from Orochimaru and Kakugakure, only the Kumogakure delegation and the Kumogakure high-level officials know how much technology and things were stolen.
Maki asked this question at this time, and it was obvious that the Sand Ninja had already obtained some relevant information from certain channels.
"As the new director of the Technology Development Department, you should know more about virtualization, right? What should we do now?" Maki asked tentatively.
He did not ask who made the hollow mask, but instead focused on begging Lu Nie to give an answer on how to solve the current problem.
"not needed for now."
"Not needed for now?"
Hearing Lu Ne's answer, both Maki and Yamato looked at him in surprise, obviously not expecting him to give such an answer.
"The power within it is indeed very strong, even comparable to the most powerful tailed beast. But didn't you notice that it didn't attack us?"
Lu Nie pointed at the rumbling centipede Xu struggling on the ground and reminded him. "This?" Ma Ji wanted to say something, but he stopped suddenly.
He remembered that after becoming a Hollow ninja, as long as there were ninjas around him, it would be like a bonfire in the dark, attracting the Hollow to hunt him.
But now, with so many jonin, a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and a Hollowed Centipede, why didn't they launch an attack on them?
"This is a dual-spirited Void. It has two consciousnesses, and these two consciousnesses are incompatible. Voiding is the sublimation of obsession. The deeper and more serious the Voiding, the more stubborn and paranoid the Void's obsession becomes.
Baizu wants this world to become a puppet world, and the Queen of Loulan wants to take revenge on Baizu for some reason!
Until the two find a way to reconcile or resolve each other, it will always be a contradictory and self-destructive void. "
Lu Ni pointed at the masks with two faces biting each other and explained.
"In other words, it will destroy itself after its birth?" Yamato tried to understand what Luna said.
"It's okay for you to think so. If there is no dragon vein energy." Lu Nie gave the answer while seeming to be thinking about something.
"Dragon energy?"
"Both consciousnesses are fighting for the power of the dragon vein. Before the energy of the dragon vein core in their bodies is completely consumed, their fight may lead to further virtualization. Of course, it can also be said to be evolution.
At that time, they will either become a stronger and independent individual, or be split into two parts and become twin Hollows."
Lu Nie speculated on the most likely outcome if he did not intervene.
"Why did he become virtual?"
Seeing that Lu Nie was not in a hurry to deal with the centipede, Maki's tense mentality eased a little. He now just wanted to figure out whether the centipede's virtualization was an accident caused by time and dragon veins, or were there other factors?
"The first one to become virtual might not be him, but the dead Queen of Loulan." Lu Nie corrected Maki's statement.
Maki was stunned for a moment.
"Haven't you discovered that Loulan is a very spiritual place?"
"Heavy Spirit Land?"
"If the ninjas and residents who died in the Jurei Land had strong obsessions before they died, their souls are most likely to fall into the state of Hollow.
The Queen of Loulan may have become a virtual being by chance. She has always existed, but she did not appear for some reason. "
Lu Nie replied softly.
Is it because of my interference?
Lu Nie thought. Because his actions interfered with the power of the dragon vein, the Queen of Loulan was able to escape and awaken to the virtual state, which in turn affected the centipede, causing it to also become virtual.
So, I am the cause of all this?
So, did my future self transform the dragon vein here? Or did the dragon vein spontaneously merge with the soul's spirit particle to produce changes?
My future self did not use the power of the dragon vein, but instead sealed it and preserved it, turning it into a spiritual place. Is this the plan?
