Chapter 238
"There are two paths that are suitable for Teacher Tsunade." Lu Nie thought about it and gave his answer seriously and carefully.
"Two paths?" Tsunade was very surprised. Even after consulting the three of them, including the Third Hokage and Orochimaru, and combining her own ideas, she could only vaguely grasp a less obvious path.
As a result, Lu Nie gave her two options, which aroused Tsunade's interest. It also once again made it clear how active Lu Nie's mind was in this regard.
"Tell me about it." Tsunade urged Lu Ni to continue.
"One is overtreatment." Lu Nie glanced at the mutant that the three little ones were working together to deal with. After confirming that they had the upper hand, he turned his attention to Tsunade and said softly.
"Overtreatment?" Tsunade repeated what Lu Nie said, and her eyes immediately became deep. The vague thought in her mind before suddenly became clear, or it could be said that it was replaced.
As the name suggests, the path that Lu Nie mentioned was not difficult for Tsunade to understand, but she had been paranoid before and did not think in this direction.
She had even planned to go the poison route, after all, medicine and poison are inseparable. And she had Orochimaru, a partner who had started on this path earlier.
However, this is just a last resort. If Tsunade is willing to work hard and study, with a solid foundation of medical knowledge, her attainments in toxins will not be lower than Chiyo, Salamander, or even Orochimaru.
But she doesn't like poison. Passion and following her heart are the ways to maximize the power of the Broken Jade.
When it comes to drugs, Shizune might be able to go further than her.
So if there is a better way to choose, Tsunade will not choose this way. Among the three ninjas who are good at poison, Orochimaru is enough.
"Tell me in detail." Tsunade crossed her arms and looked at Lu Nie with bright eyes, wanting him to explain in detail to see if it was consistent with what she thought.
“Most ninjas have physical limitations. Even the first generation, whose perfect body has flaws, would not have died so early given his strong physique.
The so-called over-treatment is to raise the healing power to the point where the ninja is too weak to be replenished, exceeding the physical limit of a ninja."
"The Fountain of Living Fluid!" After hearing what Lu Nie said, the first thing that came to Tsunade's mind was the Fountain of Living Fluid in the Wet Bone Forest.
As a fountain of living fluid that represents vitality, isn't it what Lu Nie called over-treatment? The abundant vitality contained in it is so strong that it can even melt the flesh and blood of those who enter it.
It is clearly a holy spring that can be used to save countless lives, but because of its overwhelming power, for most people, it is the most poisonous and deadly spring in the ninja world, and there is no antidote.
If I could create a substance similar to the Fountain of Living Liquid and display it in the form of magic, then if I used it in battle...
Tsunade's heart was beating fast in her chest. If she could control the ratio and kill people at the same time, would she be able to go a step further and perfect her Hougyoku mode?
This is a path that suits her very well and she can continue on it.
With her own experience and knowledge, Tsunade had no doubt that she could continue on this path. Even the Fountain of Vitality was real, and the research and testing she had done on it before could be used now. Even the Wet Bone Forest was open to her, and there was also the Living Slug Sage, a "teacher" who didn't mind her disturbing and asking questions.
For a moment, Tsunade wanted to leave everything here behind and go back to organize and collect relevant data and information, and conduct experimental research.
But soon, she suppressed this impulse. This is a time-consuming process. Although there is hope and a way, it will take her a while to reach the level of Orochimaru, so she doesn't lack this little time.
In addition, Tsunade also wanted to know what the other path that Lu Ni mentioned was.
"Yes, the Fountain of Living Fluid." Lu Nie nodded, looking at Tsunade's expression of sudden enlightenment, knowing that he didn't need to give any more explanations. So he took the initiative to mention another way under her expectant gaze. "The other way is the surgical ability in medical treatment, which can be sublimated to a fairy technique close to the rules."
"Surgical ability?"
If Tsunade could understand the previous [Overtreatment] instantly, then the second path mentioned by Lu Ni would make her hesitate.
"Does it mean using surgery to destroy and injure a person's organs and body?" Tsunade thought and expressed her understanding slowly.
"Yes." Lu Ni nodded again, acknowledging Tsunade's understanding.
"But this..." Tsunade frowned and thought about it. She instinctively felt that the second way that Lu Ni mentioned was not so simple, but she couldn't grasp the key point.
Too common!
"Do you think this path is not as powerful as you imagined?" Lu Nie asked, looking at Tsunade who was frowning.
"No!" Tsunade seemed to still not figure out something, but after hearing Lu Nie's question, she reacted and shook her head, saying: "Using medical ninjutsu to destroy human organs is one of the few fighting methods of medical ninjas.
Once the enemy's vital organs are hit by ninjutsu such as Chakra Scalpel, it will undoubtedly cause massive, even fatal damage to the enemy.
But generally speaking, it is very difficult for a medical ninja to do this, because if you can hit with a medical ninjutsu, then using a kunai can also cause similar damage in most cases.
For me, my super strength is more useful in combat than medical ninjutsu. Unless I want to capture the opponent alive."
Tsunade was telling the truth. For her, using a chakra scalpel to hurt people was less convenient than just punching them.
Damage, range, consumption, and strength are all preferred.
"I can understand that. But the surgery I'm talking about is similar to conceptual surgical ability." Lu Nie listened to Tsunade's words patiently and corrected her.
"Go on." Tsunade did not seem angry at Lu Nei's correction. Although Lu Nei could not compare with her in medical knowledge and experience, he, like Orochimaru, had his own unique things. It was just that the three of them had different focuses.
Compared to the two who are partial to medical science, Tsunade is relatively versatile. She doesn't mind if Lu Nie corrects or refutes her knowledge and experience in medicine, as long as he can give an explanation. In other words, what Tsunade needs is for Lu Nie to break through her shackles from his perspective and give her an answer.
“You should know and have played the game of building blocks, right? You can put together different components to create a variety of different designs.”
Looking at Tsunade who nodded, Lu Nie continued: "What if the surgery I'm talking about refers to the ability to cut the human body and other objects into parts like building blocks and then put them together?"
"The ability to cut the human body and other objects and put them together like building blocks?" Tsunade repeated Lu Nei's words over and over in her mind, deducing and understanding it bit by bit.
"What I mean is, if I can do this, why not use my supernatural power to directly destroy the enemy?" Tsunade thought for a long time, looked at Lu Ni and asked a question in return.
This method certainly sounds good, but if it is used to deal with the enemy, why not aim at 'harm'?
After all, the enemies that could allow her to enter the Hougyoku mode to deal with were only the top ones in the entire ninja world. Based on the ninja's consistent pursuit of "lethality", this method of surgery seemed to conflict with what she had said before.
But if it is not used for fighting, but only for improving one's own forbidden medical skills, then this path makes sense in a sense.
Thinking of this, Tsunade suddenly felt that she understood somewhat of Lu Ni's thoughts.
"It's called surgery, but in simple terms, it's a form of control! Control everything in the ninja world according to one's own wishes. It's like a person putting together building blocks. What shape he wants to put the blocks into depends entirely on his own ideas.
Not just the body, or anything else, even the soul can be cut out of a person's body and then imprisoned in a mass of lifeless inorganic matter."
After listening to Tsunade's words, Lu Ni realized that the direction she was thinking was very different from what he knew. In other words, her experience shackled her cognition, making it difficult for her to get out of that restricted room.
Originally, if she could think of it and understand it herself, perhaps the future would be smoother, but at the moment, he could only speak more carefully to neutralize the deviation in their thinking.
"Soul?" Tsunade's face revealed an expression of astonishment that she could not hide for a moment, as if she had not expected that Lu Ni would give an answer that she had not expected.
The soul is a taboo in the ninja's cognition! All secret techniques involving the soul have some forbidden meaning.
But Tsunade did not think of operating on the soul in the form of surgery. Because in her opinion, surgery is to save people. The soul is there when people are alive, and the soul will return to the Pure Land after death.
Surgery is a means of 'tidying up' the body of a living person.
But at this moment, she did realize that the surgery that Lu Nie was talking about was not the same as the surgery she knew.
The surgery that Lu Ne mentioned is just a synonym for a certain power. It does not refer only to surgery, but the process of activating its ability is similar to the surgical process, so he borrowed it to express it to himself.
After all, operating on the soul is beyond the scope of surgery in our cognition.
In fact, it is close to conceptual ability.
But at the same time, what Lu Nie said did break down the deep-rooted barrier that Tsunade had set for herself.
"Yes, soul. If you can master this ability, then when the souls of Rope Tree and others are summoned from the Pure Land, you can directly transplant them into the new body with your ability, and when an accident occurs, you can be able to solve the accident.
In addition, if you master this ability, all souls and spiritual mystic arts may regard you as your nemesis. You may have come into contact with the authority of the Pure Land Death God. "Lu Nie chuckled at the end.
The two paths he mentioned were derived from the Bankai of the first generation Kenpachi and the ability of a certain surgery fruit.
If it can eventually be presented on Tsunade, perhaps there will be a high degree of similarity in the display of abilities, but in fact, what Tsunade finally creates may have some fundamental differences from the two, and they cannot be generalized and confused.
At most, it can be considered the ninja world's version of the surgery fruit and Bankai.
With the characteristics of ninjutsu and senjutsu, this can indeed be integrated and created. Apart from other things, the Yamanaka family's mind-transfer technique can achieve a similar mental consciousness transformation as the surgery fruit. Although it is only similar, there is actually a huge difference.
"Can I really do it?" Tsunade, who had opened her mind, actually had some incredible imagination about the upper limit of this ability.
Even the soul can be cut and transferred. This alone makes it a forbidden technique among forbidden techniques.
No matter what, as long as the soul can be pulled out of the ninja's body, without the soul, that is, the control of the mental consciousness, the ninja's body is nothing more than a living dead.
Especially when it comes to the resurrection of Nawase and the others, Shikagawa also had a new idea about the soul and body fusion ceremony that had been giving Tsunade a headache.
Originally, she was planning to improve the forbidden technique of reincarnation that Orochimaru had eliminated, and use it to place the souls of Rope Tree and others. But in Orochimaru's words, this technique has some flaws. It can indeed allow a person's soul and consciousness to enter a new body, but it is hard to say how long this spiritual consciousness can live in this body. This is true even if the reincarnated body is a specially customized clone.
But now, there are better ways and methods.
“Of course, many of them are already available. You just need to find more information to integrate and use the power of Collapse Jade to integrate it.
When your spiritual weapon is forged, you can divide these and nurture them inside the spiritual weapon." Lu Nie answered without hesitation.
"So, which path should I choose?" Tsunade hesitated. Overtreatment was very suitable for her, but the concept of surgery was also suitable for her, and it also involved the reincarnation of Rope Tree. At the moment, it seemed that she had no choice.
"Why can't we choose both paths?" Under Tsunade's astonished gaze, Lu Ni asked in surprise.
"Yeah, why can't we choose both paths?" Tsunade's eyes lit up instantly. Although this would increase the workload a lot and she would face more difficulties in the future, when she succeeded, she might be able to truly achieve the perfect Hougyoku mode.
"Also, prepare for the forging of the spiritual weapon. I have reached an agreement with the Sage of the Living Slug. She agreed to give me part of her body as material." Tsunade nodded vigorously.
