Chapter 1420 Confrontation

Because Orochimaru is one of the senior executives of the institute, he was responsible for many optimizations of the rituals. Therefore, even if the institute noticed some of his private experiments, it would not investigate them.

After all, Orochimaru was not the only one in the institute who conducted experiments privately.

In addition, Orochimaru cleaned up his mess very well, especially everything related to Genyoumaru, which was wiped out by him. Therefore, except for his confidant Kabuto Yakushi, no one knew that he not only cultivated an experimental subject who awakened divine arts in private, but also took away the divine arts of the other party.

In a blink of an eye, two weeks passed.

After a round of preparations, the institute officially started the fifth ceremony.

The ceremony site this time was still on the top of a snowy mountain in the Snow Country, a good place to easily bathe in the sunlight.

Because of the failure of the fourth ceremony, the researchers who arranged the ceremony site this time were serious and carried out the arrangement in an orderly manner.

Observation area.

Amado, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Sasori and other research team leaders all gathered to watch the ceremony.

Around the ceremony site, and even on several adjacent peaks, the barrier team worked tirelessly to set up large barriers to prevent interference from external forces.

Soon, everything was ready, and the fifth ceremony officially began.

The person selected to preside over the ceremony this time was a death row prisoner named ‘Yamada Shigeichi’. Not only was he guilty like the previous Owl, but more importantly, he was a guy with thick nerves and a strong will. Even during the first generation of cell transplantation, he did not cry out in pain.

Obviously, the institute was guarding against something.

There were no accidents in the first half of the process. After swallowing all the sacrifices, the ‘ghost bud’ was quickly taken back and integrated into Yamada Shigeichi’s body.

“Heh!”

Yamada Shigeichi chuckled.

He had seen the rise and fall of Owl, so he knew what this ceremony meant.

As the power of the sacrifice merged in his body, Yamada Shigeichi felt a nameless fire suddenly surge up in his heart, a flame that burned his heart.

“Not good!”

He secretly thought it was not good.

The research institute had already told him how the last test subject went berserk, so he controlled his emotions while controlling the 'ghost bud'.

In the air.

Shinji looked down at the ceremony site below, with a bit of sarcasm on his face.

Just as he expected, the one behind the scenes was none other than the Fear Overlord who was constantly eroding the ninja world outside the space barrier.

Its power turned into a wisp of black smoke, quietly approaching the ceremony site, trying to flow into the body of Yamada Shigeichi who was presiding over the ceremony.

Since it was discovered, Shinji would naturally not let the Fear Overlord succeed again, so he immediately used the power of the 'lamp' to purify the power of the Fear Overlord that infiltrated the ninja world.

In an instant, the light emitted from Shinji's 'lamp' mixed with the colorful skylight and sprinkled on the ceremony site.

Hiss hiss hiss.

The originally invisible black smoke was illuminated by Shinji's 'lamp', and instantly made a corrosive sound and quickly dissipated.

"Huh"

"What is that?"

"Disappeared?"

Because it was not far from the ceremony site, it attracted the attention of some researchers, but when everyone looked at it intently, they found that there was nothing there.

Everyone thought it was caused by the skylight, and did not pay much attention to it. They retracted their gazes and cast their eyes again on Shigeichi Yamada in the center of the ceremony.

Only at a level that everyone could not see, countless black smoke suddenly surged around the ceremony site. Except for a small part that attacked Shigeichi Yamada in the center of the ceremony, the rest of the black smoke all flew into the sky and headed straight for Shinji.

Undoubtedly, all these black smokes were the power infiltrated by the Overlord of Fear.

For the Overlord of Fear, destroying the ceremony and preventing the emergence of powerful individuals in the Ninja World was just a matter of convenience. Its real purpose was to find the 'Lantern Bearer' who was hiding in the Ninja World and opposed it everywhere.

And Shinji's move just now undoubtedly exposed his position.

The Overlord of Fear, who discovered Shinji's trail, was overjoyed. He immediately concentrated the infiltrated power and rushed towards Shinji, the 'Lantern Bearer' of the Ninja World.

Shinji smiled slightly in the air.

His exposure this time was not a mistake. He had long guessed that the Overlord of Fear must have infiltrated a lot of power. Instead of playing hide-and-seek with the opponent and finding out the opponent's backhand bit by bit, it would be better to lure out these powers directly and solve them all at once.

But before that, he had to deal with Shigeichi Yamada who was attacked by black smoke.

Because there was a lot of black smoke at that time, one of them took advantage of the cover of other black smoke and floated towards Shigeichi Yamada without leaving any trace. Even Shinji couldn't stop it in time.

But even if the black smoke had already invaded Shigeichi Yamada's body and even began to magnify the fear in Shigeichi Yamada's heart, Shinji was not panicked at all. He directly launched the pupil technique 'Aye' on Shigeichi Yamada who was at the critical moment of 'cocooning'!

Considering that the person behind the scenes might be the Overlord of Terror, Shinji had already used the ‘Susano-no-Temperor’ to control the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan of Hiruko.

‘Aya’ is the pupil technique contained in the right eye of Hiruko’s pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. Unlike the ‘Umuta’ contained in the left eye that can output extreme emotions, the ability of ‘Aya’ is to absorb the target’s extreme emotions to restore its pupil power.

So the fear that the Overlord of Fear had caused to jump into Shigeichi Yamada's body was instantly absorbed by Shinji using 'Aye', making Shigeichi Yamada, who was still anxious and worried just a moment ago, fearless.

After dealing with Shigeichi Yamada in the ritual, Shinji flashed and flew away. And the black smoke that rose into the sky would naturally not stop there, and all chased after Shinji regardless.

Observation area.

"Life signs are normal."

"Chakra fluctuations are normal"

"The experimental subject is normal"

The assistant staring at the instrument loudly reported Shigeichi Yamada's situation.

Seeing that Shigeichi Yamada had completed the 'cocooning' step and all the data were normal, the team leaders in the observation area who had stern faces finally smiled.

Orochimaru smiled: "It seems to be successful this time!"

"Yeah!"

Amado nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tsunade said: "I really don't understand why it failed last time. Is it because of the experiment?"

"Who knows?"

Orochimaru shrugged. Anyone who does scientific research will more or less encounter some inexplicable phenomena and problems.

Obviously, including Orochimaru and Amado, no one at the scene knew about the fierce battle that had just taken place here.

The first update is here!
