Chapter 485 Heading to the Battlefield

Hearing this, Xia Le did not answer directly, but pondered for a moment.

After a while, he smiled slightly.

"The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are indeed related if we trace their origins."

"Because of this, this kind of fusion between bloodlines is indeed possible."

Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged and he nodded slightly.

"Compared to the blood inheritance limit, I have discovered something more interesting after research over the years."

Xia Le suddenly smiled and said.

"What?"

Orochimaru looked up at him.

He knew very well that a man like Xia Le would not bring up a topic rashly.

"Have you heard of the immortal body?"

Xia Le smiled.

Orochimaru was startled, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "Of course!"

The next second, the other party took out a scroll from his arms, threw it casually, and put it into his arms.

Orochimaru looked down and saw that the scroll was not sealed. He shook his hand lightly and quickly unfolded it.

"Natural energy exists between heaven and earth, and is contained in everything!"

"Each of the three holy places has its own way of cultivating natural energy, which has many functions such as enhancing longevity, body perception, and strength."

"Human beings are the spirit of all things, and they should also have their own natural way of absorbing energy."

"In ancient times..."

Obviously, the densely packed small characters on this scroll only describe a general outline and a preface.

But after just a few glances, Orochimaru's heart was shaken.

Because this scroll is clearly about the analysis of natural energy.

"Have you been studying the immortal body lately?"

Taking a deep breath, Orochimaru asked in a solemn voice.

"Yes, it has achieved results."

Xia Le smiled.

Orochimaru's body trembled and he hesitated to speak, but he finally held back.

"what do you want?"

Xia Le's expression remained unchanged: "Hashirama's cells and the results of your recent research."

"I am very interested in the connection between the bloodline of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru nodded without hesitation.

"No problem, I will send the test products and data summary later."

Then, he licked his lips and spoke expectantly.

"Can the immortal human body that is improved after the human body absorbs natural energy really increase longevity?"

Xia Le glanced at him, smiled and said, "How much do you know about the three great immortals?"

Orochimaru was startled and frowned.

His psychic beast signed an agreement with Longdi Cave, so he naturally knew something about the White Snake Immortal.

But in terms of natural energy, there is no contact for the time being.

On weekdays, they just use psychic beasts to assist in combat. In this regard, he is not as lively and willing to have relationships as Jiraiya.

"You should know very well how long the three great immortals have lived."

"And natural energy has the effect of opening up spiritual wisdom and extending life span. I think you should have a deep understanding of it."

Xia Le said softly.

Orochimaru was shocked and silently clenched his fists.

Then, he had another question.

"But how do you solve the dangers of absorbing natural energy to the human body?"

Xia Le smiled slightly: "It's all recorded on the scroll I gave you."

There was a pause.

"The three great immortal lands have methods for beasts to absorb natural energy and evolve into immortals."

"We humans should do the same!"

Orochimaru's pupils shrank, and he was extremely shocked inside.

The other party's words were calm, as if he was telling an ordinary thing. But those who know about it know very well how terrifying the difficulty is.

If natural energy was easy to absorb, there would be immortal bodies everywhere.

This kind of energy, which is higher than chakra level, if it can be successfully absorbed into the body and used, it will be simply terrifying for improving combat effectiveness.

"Why?"

Orochimaru suddenly said, his voice trembling.

He only read the beginning of the scroll, but if it was true to what Dufa said, it contained natural energy methods suitable for human cultivation.

So.

How could such a precious thing be taught to him so simply?

It is conceivable that such a thing is extremely important in the entire ninja world, and is even listed as the highest forbidden art level by major villages.

"Orochimaru."

Xia Le spoke and chuckled.

"You know? There is one thing that makes you most different from the rest of the world."

Orochimaru was all ears.

"You have a thirst for knowledge about the truth, philosophy, and rules of the world that they don't have."

"I really appreciate your exploratory spirit."

"in addition."

"If you were stronger, there would be many things we might cooperate with in the future."

Xia Le's words made Orochimaru stunned for a moment and then fell silent.

He rolled the scroll up again and held it tightly in his right hand.

Only those who understand natural energy will know how precious and powerful this thing is.

To be honest, after he started, he didn't have the courage to give up again.

"Then, thank you!"

Orochimaru stood up slowly and said solemnly.

"Orochimaru, your thirst for knowledge and scientific research ability are what I value most!"

"Looking forward to our better cooperation in the future."

Xia Le smiled slightly.

Orochimaru nodded.

Then, he quickly turned around and left.

He couldn't wait for what was recorded in the scroll.

At the same time, Orochimaru felt great pressure in his heart regarding the man Xia Le.

On the surface, the other party is the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, with a gentle personality, very easy to contact, and even extremely generous.

But in fact, this man is like a fog, which makes people feel elusive and even impossible to discern what his true purpose is.

Simply unfathomable.

Orochimaru even believed that in the entire Konoha, this man was definitely second to none.

"What does he want to do?"

After returning to his home, sitting cross-legged on his seat, and closing the doors and windows tightly, Orochimaru murmured.

The next second, he unfolded the scroll in his hand.

Dense words emerged and jumped into the eyes.

As he read each word carefully, the expression on Orochimaru's face became more and more solemn, and a look of horror and shock burst into his eyes.

"Did he really create it alone?"

“It’s simply unparalleled in ancient and modern times!!”

Judging from the information described in these words, there is no trace of the practice methods of the three great immortal lands at all.

Completely, it uses the human body as a template to introduce natural energy into the body, awaken the body's vital energy, and forcefully enter the immortal mode.

Of course, this also requires a long period of practice before you can master it.

But there is no doubt that this is the easiest and safest way for humans to master Immortal Mode.

The man who created such a practice is simply an unimaginable genius.

No, it is no longer just a genius. He should be called a demon or a fairy!

"In ancient times, humans did not have chakra, but there were witches and samurai. These people collected natural spiritual energy, contained it in their bodies, made them powerful and strong, and mastered incredible power."

"But as the sacred tree awakens and chakra is passed down to the world, the method of practicing natural energy becomes extinct."

"So, I concluded that compared to chakra, natural energy is the energy that is most suitable for human beings."

"······"

Reading each sentence, Orochimaru not only obtained the natural energy practice method, but also came into contact with ancient secrets.

This large amount of information violently impacted his worldview.

"The sacred tree is an alien creation?"

After a long time, Orochimaru said with twinkling eyes.

"And chakra is a product from outside!?"

His heart was shaking, and all kinds of thoughts continued to arise from his heart.

Vaguely, Orochimaru felt a huge conspiracy.

"What on earth is going on in this world?"

"Does Xia Le know the truth about all this?"

He murmured, his heart was ups and downs, and his expression was changing even more.

"The legendary Sage of Six Paths is a mixture of aliens and natives."

"There are hidden truths in the world."

Soon, he took another deep breath.

"All of this is not something I can pay attention to."

"Compared to these ancient stories, what is before me at this time."

His eyes were fixed on the scroll.

Afterwards, Orochimaru began to practice according to the methods on it.

Soon, he felt the mysterious energy floating in the air that existed in all things.

Just one night.

The next morning, when Orochimaru opened his eyes, he felt something different.

"What a powerful energy!"

"According to this way of practice, we slowly draw in natural energy, strengthen the body's skin and texture, and then speed up the absorption."

"When you reach a certain level, you can enter immortal mode!"

Orochimaru had a smile on his face.

After experiencing it personally, he finally confirmed that this scroll was not brought out by Xia Le to fool him, but a real treasure-level secret technique.

"What the scroll says is that entering the short-term immortal mode is only the first step."

"The true immortal body is one that can replace chakra with natural energy, thereby penetrating the whole body, achieving the sublimation of the human body's essence, and completely entering the immortal realm!"

"The immortal body no longer has a time limit, and the power of every movement is infinite. Ninjutsu will evolve into senjutsu."

"At that time, all blood inheritance limits will be surpassed!"

"The essence of human life will be changed, and the vitality and spiritual power will surpass that of mortals!"

Orochimaru's eyes flickered, filled with great anticipation.

"Is there really such a state?"

"Even the first generation Senju Hashirama, a man called a god, probably hasn't achieved it, right?"

But soon, another question popped up in his mind.

"Xia Le, what stage have you reached?"

Orochimaru's face was solemn.

But what is certain is that the other party must have mastered this immortal mode.

Afterwards, he gave up all thoughts and prepared to completely master this immortal mode that is most suitable for human beings.

But just when he was about to continue practicing, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the house.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, he quickly put away the scroll on the table, and then looked out the door.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk!”

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Orochimaru said calmly.

But the door was not pushed open. The person stood at the door and said: "Sir Hokage wants you to go to the office."

Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned, glanced at the scroll in his hand, and then said: "I know!"

The ANBU at the door flickered and disappeared.

Orochimaru placed the scroll on the table again, then made a few seals with his hands and pressed them on the scroll.

A few rays of light flashed, and a big "seal" word appeared on the surface of the scroll.

He put the scroll in his arms, and then walked towards the Hokage Building.

A moment later.

"This war is a long-planned war by the enemy country, so you need to be especially careful!"

"Minato performed well on the battlefield and is now serving as the commander, and your mission is."

The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

Orochimaru was still thinking about natural energy in his heart, and just nodded casually in response.

Of course, he also heard that the main force of this war, the protagonist responsible for commanding the battlefield, was not him.

Among the three ninjas, Tsunade and Jiraiya were not there, and he was the only one still in the village, and he basically did not show up on weekdays.

Now on the battlefield, the new generation headed by Namikaze Minato is active.

And the meaning of the third generation's words is naturally to let Minato shine completely in this war.

Orochimaru didn't even need to think too much to understand the various meanings.

He agreed expressionlessly and turned around.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

"Will Xia Le participate in this war?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled and frowned.

"He is an important fighting force in Konoha, so he will naturally participate in this war."

Orochimaru nodded, accepted it and stepped out.

Then, about two hours later, Orochimaru had changed into the simple armor he wore during the battle and was ready to go to the battlefield.

At the same time.

Xia Le also sat in front of the Third Hokage.

Compared with five years ago, the man in front of him already had a clear sense of aging on his face, with wrinkles on his face, a Sichuan character on his forehead, and tired red bloodshot in his eyes.

Obviously, Sarutobi Hiruzen's life as a Hokage in these years was not good.

He worried too much, so he aged faster.

"Xia Le."

"The war is imminent, so I won't talk nonsense with you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen got straight to the point.

"I have discussed this with Fugaku before, but since you are back."

"This time, you are responsible for leading the Akatsuki team to fight the enemy in the northwest corner."

Xia Le listened quietly and nodded at last.

The start of the Third Ninja World War cannot be avoided. No matter how many internal conflicts there are in the village on weekdays, they will concentrate their energy at this time to solve the external enemies first.

After leaving the Hokage's office.

Xia Le returned to the Uchiha clan and quickly summoned Fugaku and the people of the current Akatsuki team.

"Time is urgent and can't be delayed!"

"Everyone, check your equipment and get ready to go!"

Fugaku nodded.

Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan were a little nervous.

War is not a good thing for anyone. In particular, it has special meaning for the three of them.

That afternoon.

Xia Le, Fugaku, wearing simple armor, led the Akatsuki team as the leader, entered the Konoha Forest, and went all the way along the northwest corner.

For a while, the tense atmosphere was dense, and the war was ready to go.
