Chapter 261 Opposition



The environment of the ninja world is extremely special. Under the influence of the power of chakra, the form and nature of living things can easily change. The situation that Mizuki was worried about was clearly manifested in the tailed beasts. As the incarnation of the sacred tree, the Ten-Tails was sealed on the moon by the Six Paths Sage. The chakra representing the essence was divided into nine, becoming the nine tailed beasts. But a thousand years have passed, and which tailed beast has ever said that it wants to merge into the Ten-Tails again? The nine tailed beasts themselves are full of contradictions and endless struggles, let alone sacrificing themselves to revive the Ten-Tails.

It is easy to extend the will. Ninjutsu represented by Shadow Clone is the most effective means among them. It is extremely simple to use. Especially after Mizuki solved the flaw of evenly distributing chakra, which is not really a defect, its practicality has been greatly improved.

However, the biggest advantage of this ninjutsu passed down by the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama is the ability of asynchronous memory. The main body and the clone have different experiences. After the shadow clone technique is released, as long as you survive the initial fatigue stage, you can inherit the memories and experiences of all the shadow clones. Using this, Uzumaki Naruto completed the nature change of wind attribute chakra at a speed unimaginable for ordinary people, and then created the spiral shuriken.

However, success and failure are both due to Xiao He. The will is not synchronized, so each clone is just a replica of the original body when using ninjutsu. The free-moving shadow clone is actually not controlled by the original body. It just relies on the initial memory to barely maintain the fragile cognition that the original body and the clone are "one person". Even Uzumaki Naruto, the child of destiny, has exposed this problem to a certain extent when using shadow clones. In an actual combat test, countless shadow clones of Uzumaki Naruto besieged Hatake Kakashi, and Hatake Kakashi took advantage of this weakness and directly turned into Uzumaki Naruto's appearance, pretending to be Naruto's shadow clone. In this situation, Naruto's original body and shadow clones could not distinguish the enemy, and they killed each other when they disagreed, and finally let Hatake Kakashi take advantage.

Of course, in the competition between teacher and student, this is just a small problem. But in Mizuki, this is a huge loophole. Uzumaki Naruto's shadow clone is limited by the time limit of the external chakra retention. Its existence time is very limited. Even if it is not affected by any attack, it can only exist for a few minutes at least and more than ten minutes at most. Even in extremely special circumstances, it cannot exist for more than a day. Therefore, the contradiction between the main body and the shadow clone is not obvious, and the harm is not great.

However, due to the combined effects of the sealing technique and the breath-holding technique, Mizuki's fake Jinchūriki clone can act independently for too long. Even if they have the same memory and way of thinking, after having too many different experiences, the cognitive gap between the two will only grow larger and larger, and sooner or later they will have different opinions and conflicts. Why does Mizuki still insist on meeting and communicating regularly and exchanging memories with the fake Jinchūriki when there is no fighting and there is no need to replenish chakra? It is to prevent this from happening. Of course, this is just a precaution. Without the physical body, the fake Jinchūriki is just an ordinary shadow clone, and its independent will will eventually disappear.

But what Mizuki and the fake Jinchuriki have to do this time is not so simple. If you want to gather your collective will to fight against the erosion of natural energy, you must first have an independent will. The fake Jinchuriki is not even a complete person now, how can you talk about will? It's just a complex body occupied by a shadow clone. It's similar to Gaara who used the sleep technique and was occupied by Shukaku, but this time is very, very long, and unlike Gaara, he doesn't have an indigenous will to end this control after waking up.

Mizuki has many examples to learn from and solve the contradiction between the main body and the clone. However, time is running out, and Mizuki keeps exploring in the spiritual realm in order to find a suitable solution. From the records, most of the clones in the past life that involved religion had extremely strict spiritual requirements, and their safety could not be guaranteed. A more reliable method is to refer to the ready-made examples in the ninja world.

The first thing that caught my eye was the Six Paths of Samsara, and the black stick controlled by the Samsara Eye. This method of long-distance chakra transmission could meet the requirements to a certain extent. But unfortunately, those knockoffs of Shuimu could not obtain the Samsara Eye completely and safely for the time being, and he himself had no attainments in Yin-Yang escape, so he could not make such an excellent chakra transmission weapon for the time being.

The other is the White Zetsu, who has countless clones. There are currently two known possibilities for the birth of White Zetsu, the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the cultivation of the Outer Path Demon Statue. Although the sources are different, the core is similar, the cells of the First Hokage and the Ten-Tails.

Although Mizuki cannot obtain these two things, with the cells of White Zetsu's corpse and Shukaku's clone, he can also get a glimpse of the secret. As a research project that Mizuki has high hopes for, solving the problem of physical and mental dependence, when success is only one step away, it is not worth it to abandon all previous efforts and take risks in dangerous games such as "creating life".

"Sometimes, I wonder if I should give you a name." The original Mizuki said to the fake Jinchuriki after the argument was fruitless. "I don't know why you gave this suggestion, but I still feel that I really ignored your feelings before."

Shuimu's words immediately made the atmosphere even more silent, and the heavy atmosphere in the air made people almost breathless.

"Are you doubting me?"

There was an inexplicable light in the eyes of the fake Jinchūriki, and he asked word by word while looking into the eyes of the real Jinchūriki.

"You should still remember how the first copycat Jinchuriki clone died, right?" Without answering the question, Mizuki suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"I know." After thinking for a while, the fake Jinchūriki seemed to understand something, "You mean..."

Shuimu's main body waved his hand, interrupting the other party's words: "Our memories are similar, and our ways of thinking are exactly the same. There shouldn't be too many disagreements in such a short time, but it is obvious that a problem has occurred, and we need to face it!"

"Really?" The fake Jinchuriki said with a wry smile, "It's inevitable that the butt determines the head. Unconsciously, our positions have begun to oppose each other."
