Chapter 288
"The difference between the Soul Clone and the Shadow Clone is that the Shadow Clone distributes its own chakra evenly, which will result in a large amount of consumption and a decrease in strength. When it is damaged, it will be destroyed and disappear.
The core of the soul shadow clone is to distribute its own soul and everything. It can make targeted distributions to each sub-body, and even if it is fatally injured, it will not disappear.
But both have serious side effects. The side effects of the soul shadow clone are greater than those of the shadow clone. Are you sure you want to practice this technique?"
Orochimaru asked Senju Tobirama.
"With my awakened abilities, is it possible that I cannot master this technique?" Senju Tobirama frowned.
After the previous battle, he didn't think that Orochimaru hadn't realized what his ability was. For him, there were no secrets in any ninjutsu, and he also had the basics to master the so-called higher-level senjutsu.
"I said that this is a technique that requires a threshold and many prerequisites." Orochimaru raised his finger, "First, you need to have the ability to perform surgery on the soul. Currently, only Lu Ni's ability and my ability can do this.
You should be able to understand the difference between surgery and dissection, right?
If you act recklessly on your own soul, you will end up going crazy.
You can choose me or Lu Nie to help you cut out the soul fragments, or you can learn the prerequisite forbidden techniques yourself, but no matter which one you choose, it is best not to have more than one soul clone! Because you don’t have my soul secret technique, you can make up for your soul loss from other places. "
"I'll do it myself." Senju Tobirama had no intention of asking others to help him split his soul.
"In that case, you need to accept the curse I will plant on you."
"Curse Seal?" Senju Tobirama looked at Orochimaru warily.
"Don't be so nervous. This is a prerequisite for practicing Soul Shadow Clone! You need my strength." Orochimaru was well aware of Senju Tobirama's vigilance. In the technical development department, too many things like curse seals had been developed in a messy way. Any ninja who had read the intelligence information about curse seals would be wary of this.
It is true that you can gain power, but there are also side effects, which vary from person to person.
"I know about the curse seal. From the information I've read, it's a technique that injects a certain power into a ninja's body in the form of a sealing technique, giving them a power similar to a degraded version of a Jinchūriki or Sage Mode.
When it is activated, while greatly increasing the ninja's strength, there is also a high probability that it will go out of control. "Senju Tobirama said what he knew about the curse seal. He didn't want to be affected by that kind of thing.
"Then maybe the information you read is outdated, or it has been semi-disclosed within the Technology Development Department." Orochimaru explained calmly: "In fact, the biggest difficulty of the curse seal at present is that there are few carriers that can accept it.
Those who successfully inject the curse and survive can maintain their consciousness for a period of time, and can easily exit the selected curse mode when losing control.
The Technology Development Department has now updated the seal technology to the third generation, weakening its power while making it as stable as possible and allowing it to be safely accepted by more ninjas."
"But this still can't cover up its problems." Senju Tobirama ignored Orochimaru's explanation and said bluntly. After awakening the Hogyoku mode, he currently does not need that kind of extra surge and uncontrollable power.
"What is your choice? The practice of soul shadow clones must obtain the curse seal planted by me personally. That is a part of my power! It is the necessary condition to be able to split your own soul according to your wishes. In other words, are you willing to let me or Luna prepare such a soul surgery for you?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.
Although he did have some ideas and purposes in mind, he did not deceive Senju Tobirama. His curse seal was indeed a necessary prerequisite for the soul shadow clone. It was the power that could be used to use his Collapse Jade ability to cut his own soul!
"I created the Impure World Reincarnation. I have studied the soul. I know exactly what the curse seal you are talking about is. Just because you didn't lie doesn't mean I can accept it."
Senju Tobirama shook his head solemnly, "I just need you to provide me with a complete set of procedures, even if it does not involve techniques, just theory and inspiration will do.
Of course, if you say no, that’s fine. It’ll just take me a little longer.”
In terms of creating forbidden techniques, Tobirama Senju does not believe that he is weaker than anyone else. Perhaps Orochimaru's ability of the Hogyoku is indeed the core condition for the Soul Shadow Clone, but if it is just about cutting his own soul, Tobirama Senju believes that with his skills and creativity, he can find another solution without Orochimaru providing any help.
It just takes a little more time.
In the end, it might not reach the standard of Orochimaru's forbidden technique, but the difference would not be huge.
"it's a pity."
Orochimaru said softly. His regret was real and there was no hiding or covering up. After all, Senju Tobirama was also a good "incubator", especially in the cognition of jutsu and chakra.
Just like Hiruko, whose shackles and threats the ninja world is trying to find a way to get rid of, when necessary, they can all become resources for him to make further progress.
However, compared to Hiruko, who might have had everything devoured by him, Tobirama Senju's fate would not be that tragic, and the consequences could even be said to be relatively minor.
However, Orochimaru had no intention of forcing a soul seal on the second generation. This thing was not 100% safe, especially in front of someone with outstanding talent who had also awakened the ability of the Hogyoku.
"This is a scroll of information about the soul shadow clone." Orochimaru took out a scroll stained with mucus from his mouth and threw it to the second generation.
"I also want to know if this technique will appear in this ninja world in a different form in your hands."
Facing the somewhat surprised look of Senju Tobirama, Orochimaru said truthfully. Once upon a time, the Second Generation was a person he admired and longed for more than his teacher, the Third Generation.
Admire his strength and admire his talent.
They are the same kind of people!
"Remember, you can divide it according to the proportion of your soul and power, but don't cut it too pure. Otherwise, your sub-body will become a paranoid existence that will give everyone a headache. I have already destroyed the two sub-bodies that devoured me, and I don't want to kill your other sub-bodies in the future.
This reserved cutting can also ensure the integrity of your main consciousness in various senses."
