Chapter 405: The stalemate on the battlefield of the Land of Earth, the thousand-year-old ancient man - Sen!
Earth Kingdom Battlefield
Unlike the rapid progress of the other two battlefields, due to some selfish motives of Orochimaru, the Land of Earth was forcibly dragged into a stalemate by Orochimaru.
The originally vast Gobi battlefield was instantly replaced by a group of twisted and bizarre forests!
This is Orochimaru's experiment on Wood Release. There are many similar things, such as humanoid monsters with red and white eyeballs all over their bodies, a giant white snake with six human heads, a mad monster covered with curse marks, a rotten snake emitting poisonous gas, a humanoid creature with branches, a half-human, half-snake monster, a snake fusion monster, and other curious things.
They are all failed products of Orochimaru's research!
Anyway, the only ninjas in Konoha here are him and a few ninjas left behind by Mitomon En to monitor him. The rest are all enemies, so he can conduct experiments with impunity.
For him, this place is simply paradise!
However, in this way, Iwagakure's attack plan completely failed.
Iwagakure's original plan was to take advantage of the vast terrain of the Gobi Desert to directly fight Konoha and maximize the advantage of their own military strength.
Even if they encounter complex terrain like woodlands later, the areas they have already conquered are not small, so they still make a profit. Originally, it should be like this.
But after being stopped by Orochimaru's Impure World Army on the first day, their plan went completely haywire. Overnight, the desert turned into a forest! The area changed every day!
And as time goes by, there are more and more monsters inside, and their clearing speed cannot keep up. As of now, it is because they missed the opportunity at the beginning.
Now that the woodland was established, they could only barely contain its expansion.
Of course, there is also good news. At least they have discovered the weakness of the Impure World Reincarnation, namely the sealing technique.
As a result, they were able to hold on, constantly sending elite teams into the forest to fight the reincarnated ones, sealing them and bringing them back, while the main force used ninjutsu on the periphery to destroy the forest, trying to transform it into a terrain that was beneficial to them.
Of course, on the battlefield, especially one involving the Impure World Reincarnation, there are bound to be both joy and sorrow. After all, the art of dream fulfillment is no joke.
At this moment, such a scene was being played out on the battlefield.
"grandfather?"
"You're a little monster? You're so big~"
At this time, a team of Rock Ninjas were surrounding an old reincarnated person. One of the slightly fat ninjas looked at him and shouted in shock.
"Hasn't your grandfather been dead for nearly forty years?" the square-faced Iwagakure ninja beside him asked in surprise, a hint of fear mingling with his tone.
"Then do we not have to fight? You are lucky, Aguai." He did not notice the expressions of Aguai and Square Face, and said with a relaxed expression.
Looking at the monster who was waiting for him in a serious state, the old man showed a gratified expression: "Very good expression, monster. It seems that you are a qualified ninja."
"Grandpa, since you're already dead, can't you just stop?"
"Stop? Why stop? For the so-called village behind you? It seems that you have forgotten all about the honor of your family, ah monster~"
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, powerful chakra instantly burst out from the old man's thin body!
At this moment, the Iwagakure, who had just looked relaxed, noticed something was wrong, no matter how slow he was. "Ah, weirdo. He... isn't he your grandfather?"
"Tsuchima Yui, a powerful ninja from the Warring States Period, was famous in the ninja world for his ability to seamlessly transfer secret techniques that allowed him to seize bloodline limits. Every once in a while, he would brutally kill a ninja, including his own son!"
"!!!" Hearing the words of the square-faced man, the Rock Ninja looked at Aguai in shock, trying to get evidence from him.
Feeling his companion's gaze, Ah Guai nodded stiffly, "He's right, my grandfather is indeed like that. Because this is one of the side effects of the seamless transfer technique, I gave up practicing the secret technique."
"Hahaha, Aguai, you are really different now. Now you can even consider the feelings of the weak. It seems that the so-called village has done you a lot of harm~"
"Really? Grandpa, why do I feel like this is better?" After saying that, he crossed his hands suddenly, and then pressed his hands to the ground together with the square-faced man!
"Earth Escape: Earth Prison Hall No!"
Following the actions of Aguai and the square-faced man, a hemispherical earth wall completely sealed off the Tsuchima. At the same time, another Iwagakure also changed his sluggish appearance, danced his hands quickly, and slammed them to the ground.
"Sealing Technique: Ghost Pattern Hua!"
In an instant, a series of evil sealing spells rushed towards the mound!
In the ninja world, experienced ninjas rarely talk nonsense and are always decisive in their actions. When they use verbal tactics, it's a sign that they have something to hide. This is common knowledge among ninjas. Therefore, it's unusual that Doma Yui, chosen by Orochimaru, was trapped so easily.
Sure enough, before the three of them could show any joy, the old voice of Tujianmai was heard from the dungeon.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, but have you forgotten, freak? I am now immortal! Hey!"
When Ah Guai first heard what Tsuchima said, he was a little confused. It was not until he heard the last loud shout that he suddenly woke up and remembered a ninjutsu he had conceived.
"escape!!!"
Hearing the sound, although they didn't understand what was happening, they immediately retreated out of trust in Ah Guai.
"boom!!!"
A violent explosion erupted from the dungeon, and the strong impact even threw the three people far away!
"What's this?!"
Hearing the words of the square-faced man, Ah Guai's face darkened. "It's the village's explosive escape technique, a bloodline limit that Grandpa once obtained. It's a ninjutsu that kills both parties, so I didn't react at first. Now I'm in trouble. My information is useless. Grandpa has many bloodline limits of this kind."
"The village's explosive escape? Ha, look, silly boy, this is the village's conspiracy, to take everything for themselves. It's a pity that you can't see through these things." Doma Mai said as he shook his head and walked out of the thick smoke. When he walked out, the last piece of debris just fit his face, without any error!
"I remember you said, Grandpa, that the principles between ninjas must be proven by strength, so I will prove that you are wrong!" After saying that, Aguai rushed up instantly, and the three of them attacked the old man with his hands behind his back from different directions!
"Heh, I remember I told you, freak, that as a ninja, the most important thing is your own personal information. You can't tell even your closest relatives. So, what makes you think that I only have the so-called self-destruct method? Is this what the village taught you?"
Facing the attack of three people, Tsuchiya's response was simple. She put her hands behind her back and spoke lightly.
Unfortunately, his words were in vain. Whether it was the three clones in front of him or his real body hiding in the dark and performing ninjutsu, none of them could hear him. They had all been dismembered by his invisible spider silk.
"Haha, silly boy, since you know the price of the secret technique, why don't you think about who destroyed those bloodline families?" Doma Mai looked at the head that rolled in front of him, and the vicissitudes of life on the face where you could vaguely see traces of the former childishness.
"Oh, silly boy, just because you captured a few brats, you think you have a sure win. Oh, you underestimated that guy. This is no longer a war between Konoha and Iwagakure, but a war between two eras. Brats, are you ready?"
As he spoke, the old man walked deeper into the forest with his hands behind his back. As he spoke, countless demons seemed to appear in the forest.
The same scene also appeared in other places, similar people, similar corpses, different ways of death
All the reincarnated people who are active on the battlefield now have been screened by Orochimaru. Those who are just lazy on the battlefield, like Chiyo, were all eliminated by Orochimaru in the first battle with Iwagakure. Then in the subsequent battles, some weaker ones were screened again by the Iwagakure.
Therefore, most of the remaining ones were powerful ninjas from the Warring States Period. Orochimaru spent a lot of effort to obtain their useful cell tissues.
And their efforts were not in vain. After the last reincarnated ninja from the Ninja Village era was sealed by the Rock Ninja, these powerful men from the Warring States era instantly showed their extraordinary qualities that far surpassed those of the ninjas from the Ninja Village era!
For example, the Rock Ninja's capture plan hadn't caught a single reincarnated person! The best-case scenario was that everyone escaped. Because of this, Ohnoki, who was helping the Rock Ninja clear the jungle, was almost furious.
Therefore, when he received the latest intelligence from the forest, Ohnoki urgently recalled all the members. With this casualty rate, they could not survive. By then, even if they could defeat Konoha, the Iwagakure would be almost finished. He did not want to make things difficult for others in the end.
On the other hand, after learning that the Iwagakure had retreated, Orochimaru did not let the reincarnated ones continue to chase them, but instead summoned them back to recover the cell tissues they had collected.
"Tick-tick-tick~"
The ninja with bandages all over his body walked slowly in a silent secret passage, his footsteps were unusually crisp. Soon, he came to a basement. Looking at the jars filled with green liquid, he couldn't help shaking his head.
Although it was not the first time I saw it, I was still shocked. Creating life, the legendary power of God was easily reproduced by this man.
Hearing the footsteps, Orochimaru turned his head and saw that he was staring at the android in the green liquid again. He smiled faintly and knew what he was thinking.
"Mr. Mori, these are just puppets, not real life because they have no souls. And even if they had souls and became real life, that fatal flaw would still be there. God? Only ignorant people would call themselves gods."
As if thinking of Ryoka and Suzune beside Shiro, Orochimaru shook his head and sighed.
"So, if even you can't solve something, God can do it easily. How powerful must God be?"
After Orochimaru finished his work, he turned around and looked at Mori: "Mori-kun, times have changed. Even I am not the best in this era. The so-called power of God is not what I want to pursue. It is too empty."
"If you're not aiming to become a god, then what's the point of all this? If it were just the village across the way, you could wipe them out in an instant with the reincarnations in your hands. But now you're just holding them back and collecting the cells of these incompetents. What on earth do you want to do?"
Looking at the scroll in Mori's hand that sealed the Iwagakure cells, Orochimaru smiled, "Purpose? Ha, Mori-kun is also starting to be interested in this world?"
"It's nothing, just an occupational disease. Although the world has changed, I don't want anyone to destroy it. After all, I once fought for it."
Orochimaru smiled gently, "Don't worry, Mori-kun. My interest is only in knowledge. That's why I stay on this battlefield because it can provide me with the most research materials and greatly speed up my progress. Of course, if Mori-kun is willing to tell me something, perhaps I won't have to do so many tests."
As if to verify Orochimaru's words, a android behind him instantly exploded, emitting two evil chakras, which slowly separated from their fusion state and then dissipated.
"For example, what do you think about this, Mori-kun?"
"The tailed beast chakra is very dangerous, especially when it comes to fusion. It's best to stop now. At this point, those two little guys may not be able to hold on. If that happens, the world will be completely over."
"So Mori-kun, isn't it okay to just tell me?"
Looking at Orochimaru, who still had a gentle smile on his face, Mori gave him a cold look and said as usual, "You won't stop even if I tell you, so why bother saying more? That's all I have to say. Think about it."
"I see. But your descendants are also researching this, so is that okay?"
Mori paused as he left, and without turning back, he said, "He's just a branch. Without the Ninja Clan's inheritance, he can't be considered a member of our clan, even if he has our blood."
"Haha~ I've never set foot outside the camp, yet I know that my descendants will still exist a thousand years later. Just this kind of ninjutsu alone is worth such a huge price. The Ninja Clan's Tailed Beast Guardians. And magic. Haha, this world is getting more and more interesting."
Thinking of this, Orochimaru's smile gradually became perverted, filled with a fanatical pursuit of the truth of the world!
Meanwhile, Mori, who had entered the secret passage, was also experiencing a surge of thoughts. "I can't sense Hamura's presence anymore, and his people are acting strangely. Yuyi, what are you relying on? Even she's afraid of those guys."
Sen walked out of the dark passage, looked up at the gloomy sky, his dark eyes were full of worry.
"Mr. Mori, can you please stop for a moment?"
"Well, you are, by the way, Chiyo, what, is there something wrong?"
"Your Excellency must be a ninja from long ago, right?"
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
"No, I shouldn't say that in front of you. I once fought in the Warring States Period, and I have some familiarity with some powerful ninjas. However, I have no impression of you. Moreover, you were not summoned by human sacrifice, so you are naturally special."
"Oh? Is there such a difference? I thought there were two ninjas with the same bandages, and I should be inconspicuous. It seems that there is something I don't know."
