Ninja World: I’m Not a Human Being!

Wet Bone Forest, by the hot spring.

Tsunade glared at the ghost shark and warned him to stay away from the live scorpion, not to think about hitting it.

Under the guidance of the avatar, the living cockroach, the two are about to officially begin their immortal practice.

Last night, after reading the experience of immortal art practice left by Hakuma, both of them understood the function of the hot spring in front of them.

As the living larvae said, the first step in the practice of celestial arts is to soak in hot springs.

The two need to soak their bodies in the hot springs for several days or even longer.

In this process, the spring water rich in natural energy will be gradually absorbed by the two people through contact with their bodies, and then the cells in their bodies will be "naturally activated".

When they reach a state of natural activation, the cells in the two people can passively absorb natural energy, just like breathing and heartbeat, and become an instinct of their bodies.

At that time, the two of them will be able to enter the immortal mode instantly as long as they put their hands together anytime, anywhere, and shout.

In contrast, Miaomushan's immortal mode, which takes a lot of time to prepare to activate every time, seems inferior.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

After the natural activation and transformation of the body of the two, it will also bring a side effect-speeding up the division of cells in the body.

In a person's life, the number of divisions of cells in the body is limited, only about fifty times, and then it will die.

Natural activation, although it will not reduce the number of cell divisions, will shorten its division cycle, thereby reducing the life of the practitioner.

Such as the god of ninja Senju Hashima. With an immortal body, he should have a very long lifespan, and it would not be a problem to live for a hundred or two years.

However, under the side effects of natural activation, even the immortal human body could not hold it, and died before the age of fifty.

Not to mention ordinary people, even if they reluctantly learned the Shibone Forest Immortal Technique, it would be good to live for a few years.

Live gnats are different from humans.

It is a mollusk with a special body structure that can divide itself into small slugs infinitely, which means that its cells have no upper limit on the number of divisions.

therefore,

Only in a long period of time can the living scorpion continuously absorb natural energy, allow itself to proliferate indefinitely, and eventually become the largest creature in the whole ninja world.

However, the live gnat also paid a price.

Although it does not have to worry about the side effects of natural activation, it has a near-eternal life by absorbing natural energy, but the uncontrolled splitting causes its body to expand excessively, and in the end it almost merges with this wet bone forest.

This is the sadness of a living gnat.

Back to the topic.

For Oni and Tsunade, to overcome the side effects of natural activation, it is necessary to enter the second step, which is "balance".

They must learn to use their own consciousness to control the activated cells in the body, so that they can not only absorb natural energy every minute and every second, but also reduce the division speed to an acceptable level.

Eventually a dynamic balance is reached.

For example, the lifespan of the two is like the water in the reservoir, and the activated cells are like a water pipe, which continuously drains the water in the pool, resulting in the loss of their lifespan and rapid death.

The solution to this problem is to turn consciousness into a flow-restricting valve and install it on the water pipe.

Usually it's a trickle, but when it's time to fight in fairy mode, the valve is opened wide to maximize the flow in an instant.

It can be seen that the cultivation difficulty of Shibone Forest Immortal Art is much greater than that of Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave, but its power is also the greatest.

Once learned, the caster can not only enter the immortal mode very quickly, but also receive the increase of the immortal chakra, which is several times or even ten times that of the immortal art of Miaomu Mountain and Longdidong.

After all, it is an immortal technique performed at the expense of accelerating cell division and burning lifespan.

"Master Tsunade, Master Oni, before you enter this hot spring, I want to give you one last warning."

The live gnat erected a pair of tentacles, and his usual gentle voice became serious, "Once the celestial art practice in Shigulin begins, it cannot be stopped, because the natural activation of cells is like cancer, and there is no way to cure it. , will accompany you for the rest of your life until the conclusion of your life."

"I see, Slug Fairy."

The ghost shark nodded, his eyes burning.

In his opinion, the Immortal Technique of Shibone Forest is the most powerful force in the Ninja world today. To get this power, it is natural to pay a price, even if the price is his lifespan.

Moreover, the ghost shark believes that there must be a way for the car to the front of the mountain, and there must be a solution to any problem.

After he obtained the Immortal Technique, he would find a way to use this power to make himself evolve again, and finally realize the leap of life level.

At that time, the side effects of the natural activation of cells may not be self-defeating.

"I thought about it too."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade said solemnly.

At that time, her grandfather Chishou Hasuma fought against his long-term enemy Uchiha Madara for a day and a night. Although he finally won, but after that battle, Hasuma also became seriously ill and died soon after.

Tsunade has been troubled for many years. With his grandfather's physique, how could he have died of a serious illness? You must know that even if he is seriously injured, he can heal himself without a seal. He is a god-like existence.

Now she finally understood that it was because of Shibone Forest's magic.

Thousands of hands have been fighting for many years, and they have overwhelmed the entire ninja world. But in the process, due to his frequent use of immortality, he also overdrawn his body too much.

After the battle with Madara, Hashima was finally unable to control the natural activation of cells in his body, so the god of ninja soon fell.

After realizing the real cause of his grandfather's death, Tsunade couldn't contain it and developed a strong obsession.

She wanted to walk the path of Qianshouzhuma again in person, learn the magic of Shibone Forest, and use her own strength to find a solution to the side effects of natural activation of cells.

If she can do this, Qianshou Hasuma knows Izumi, and she must be proud of this precious granddaughter.

"Compared with the air of Miaomu Mountain and the soil of Longdi Cave, the concentration of natural energy in this hot spring is much higher, so it is easy to lose control during the cultivation process. But please rest assured, two adults, my clone will be there to help You, try to avoid all accidents from happening."

As the living slug said this, the three-meter-high body split into dozens of small slugs again, and they were divided into two groups and came to the two of them.

Tsunade frowned and glanced at the ghost shark, then pointed at the hot spring and said:

"We're half of us in this pool, you're on the left, and I'm on the right. How about not interfering with each other?"

"no problem."

The ghost shark nodded readily, and began to take off his coat and shoes on the spot. Soon, only a pair of shorts were left on his body, and he swaggered towards the hot spring.

"Humph."

Tsunade looked at the back of the ghost shark, snorted lightly, and turned to the other side of the hot spring.

She stood on the shore, unbuttoned her clothes, and took off the green windbreaker with the word "gambling" printed on the back, revealing the white swimsuit she had put on at some point.

The style is a little more conservative, but with Tsunade's figure, it is indeed not suitable to wear bolder styles.

She entered the hot spring cautiously, and her snow-white skin became smoother and slippery in contact with the warm pool water. Against the backdrop of the dense mist, she was full of allure.

As long as it is a normal man, seeing this scene, it is inevitable that his blood will rise and he will not be able to resist.

Tsunade was also worried that the ghost shark would peek at her, but when she glanced towards the ghost shark, she realized that he didn't even look at her at all,

Instead, he interacts with a group of little slugs with a smile on his face.

Gu Chong

Obviously, in the eyes of ghost sharks, slugs are much more attractive than Tsunade wearing a swimsuit and soaking in hot springs.

abnormal.

She cursed inwardly, and stopped worrying about the ghost sharks, but prepared to start practicing immediately.

"Huh? Why can't I feel any change, it's like I'm soaking in an ordinary hot spring."

Soon, she asked the little slug beside her with a puzzled face.

"Master Tsunade, that's because you haven't sensed the existence of natural energy. Before absorbing natural energy, you must first enter a state of absolute stillness, so let's start by calming down."

The little slug reminded patiently.

So under its guidance, Tsunade tried to stretch her limbs. Due to the high density of the spring water, she quickly floated to the surface like a piece of driftwood.

Then, she closed her eyes and lay on the water in a large shape, wrapped in the warm spring water, entering a deep state of tranquility.

On the other hand, Ghost Shark entered the state of cultivation earlier than Tsunade.

From the point of view of mind, although the ghost shark is only in his teens, he is a second-generation person after all.

On the contrary, Tsunade, who is twenty years older than the ghost shark, is very mature physically, but sometimes mentally not very mature. Her character is irritable and irritable, and she has been depressed for a long time in the middle. She is addicted to alcoholism and gambling, so her self-control and concentration are much weaker than those of ghost sharks.

To put it simply, it is difficult for Tsunade to get rid of all kinds of distracting thoughts in his heart, completely calm down, and enter a state where his mind is like still water.

Therefore, in the cultivation of immortality, although she did not want to lose to the ghost shark, she still fell behind as soon as she came up.

after an hour.

The ghost shark floated quietly in the hot spring, motionless, as if it really turned into a piece of wood, rippling back and forth slightly with the flow of the spring water under him.

At this moment, he reached the state of ecstasy, and the whole person's spirit and body were integrated into this hot spring and became a part of heaven and earth.

In such a state of mind, he finally sensed the existence of natural energy.

The ghost shark subconsciously raised his hands and put them together, trying to absorb the surrounding natural energy.

For a moment, they were like a swarm of sharks that smelled blood, swarming towards him from all directions and pouring into his body.

The natural activation of cells begins.

The ghost shark knows that from this second, he has no way back.

But he didn't have the slightest hesitation and fear in his heart, but his heart was like iron, and he fearlessly accepted the rush of natural energies and allowed them to transform his body.

The little slugs around the ghost shark also crawled onto his body one after another, attaching to his shoulders, chest muscles, abdomen, thighs, etc.

When cultivating immortality, you need to stay focused throughout the whole process. Once you get distracted, you risk being swallowed by natural energy.

The task of these little slugs is to sense the situation of the ghost shark's body at all times, and help him absorb the excess natural energy when he is in danger due to distraction.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes.

Unconsciously, another hour has passed, and there is no abnormality in the ghost shark's body, and the absorption of natural energy is always going on smoothly.

Even the slug fairy was surprised.

The aptitude of the ghost shark is better than that of the living scorpion, and even the Qianshou Zhujian of the year is not as good.

However, ghost sharks are human after all, and human beings have limits.

At a certain moment, after maintaining concentration for several hours, the ghost shark was finally disturbed by distractions and broke out of the state of absolute stillness.

The next second, a thrilling scene happened.

Gurgling.

The spring water under the ghost shark suddenly bubbling a lot, as if the water was boiling.

His hair, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly changed from short to shawl-long, and there was no sign of stopping.

What's even more frightening is that the right ear of the ghost shark suddenly split, and a third ear grew; next to the thumb of his left hand, a sixth finger also grew.

This is the devouring of natural energy to people.

In the process of cultivating the Miaomushan Xianshu, if it fails, the eyes, nose and webs of a frog will grow until the whole person becomes a frog statue.

In Shigulin, the risk of cultivating immortality is that the cell division in the human body is completely out of control, and a large number of limbs and organs are split in a short period of time, and finally the loser becomes a deformed flesh-and-blood monster.

Seeing that the situation of the ghost shark is going to get worse.

The little slugs that were lying on his body quickly acted to suck away the runaway natural energy in his body.

After a while, the ghost shark's appearance returned to normal, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Thank you, Live Slug." He smiled and expressed his gratitude to the little slugs.

"Master Gui Sha, your spirit is already very tired, so let's stop here for the time being for today's practice, don't force yourself too hard."

The little slug kindly suggested.

"Well, it makes sense. Haste is not enough."

The ghost shark nodded, did not try to be brave, but happily accepted the suggestion of the living scorpion.

So he swam ashore and got dressed.

At this time, the ghost shark had time to look to the other side of the hot spring, curious about the progress of Tsunade's cultivation.

Unexpectedly, after most of the day, she still couldn't enter the state of stagnant water.

"Damn, failed again."

Tsunade opened her eyes with annoyance. Just now, she could almost sense the existence of natural energy, but unfortunately, her heart was confused again at the last moment.

When she was upset, she found that the ghost shark had completed the first day of cultivation and was watching her from the shore.

The ghost shark smiled at Tsunade, shook his head, turned and walked into his luxurious wooden house.

"I was flattered by this guy again."

Tsunade gritted his teeth and hit the water with a punch.

However, perhaps stimulated by the ghost shark, after venting her negative emotions, she quickly calmed down, closed her eyes again, and devoted herself to cultivation.

Finally, hard work pays off.

After trying again and again, Tsunade has successfully sensed the existence of natural energy and can't wait to start absorbing it.

She was intent on catching up with the ghost shark's progress.

at dusk.

"what!"

A scream came from outside the house, attracting Gui Shark's attention and letting him go out.

It turned out that Tsunade had gone wrong.
