"You mean, the ones who escaped the meat grinder-like chaos and the final foreshadowing - the harvest of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke - are the ones we should focus on?"
Belial nodded: "We must get the seal as soon as possible. This is the most valuable thing. The genius standing on the shoulders of giants is the most terrifying person. No matter how the world changes, the one who laughs last is always the wisest who lurks the deepest."
"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention to it." Shuimu's original body said sincerely. Shuimu, who had already obtained the curse seal, thought about it and decided that there was no need to tell Belial about his latest gains.
"But why didn't you run away, and reveal so much?"
"My name is Beryl. It's not the first betrayer who has an idea, nor is it the middle school student who thinks he is the master of lies and deception, the mastermind behind all this. It's the original meaning."
"A life that appeared by chance and has no value?"
"I have no interest in justice and I am meaninglessly lazy. I have no future. I am not even a complete person. How can I have a life?" Beryl summed up himself.
"Is that so?" Although Belial was unbearable, it was indeed a reaction to part of Shuimu's nature. His thoughts were indeed not bright enough sometimes, but he always adhered to the bottom line of kindness and morality.
Thinking of this, Mizuki's mind flashed with the smiling face of his wife Chie Tsubaki, and he couldn't help but feel a little warm.
As for Belial, he might be just a coincidence caused by the same thoughts but different environment. Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are bitter oranges. Different environments, even for the same person, will lead to completely different conclusions.
Mizuki thought for a moment and said, "In you, I see a combination of many of my dark sides, but this is not a reason for you to do such a thing, right?"
Beryl smiled bitterly and replied, "That's why I said I don't know if I'm a traitor. The beginning of the action was just an experiment to recognize self-simulation. We already knew the disadvantages of Sage Mode. In order to find a way to deal with it, or even to find out our own tolerance, we conducted an observation experiment. But unfortunately, the experiment was led astray from the beginning."
"What's going on?"
"There were a total of seven rapidly modulated cloned human bodies with extremely short lifespans. Four of them were made into fake Jinchūriki using my shadow clones. From the beginning, I used illusions to obscure some of their memories, and then observed their 'self's' action style in different scenarios. But unfortunately, in a short period of time, all four fake Jinchūriki clones were on the verge of losing control, and I had to seal them away."
"Out of control?" Shuimu asked solemnly, "You, a guy who calls yourself Beryl, claim that you are out of control. What happened?"
"The first one, in fear of death, transplanted White Zetsu cells into his body, which was corroded and wrapped, and then I sealed him. The second one tried to make achievements in illusion, and developed a large number of advanced illusions for himself. You have to know that when an illusion master finds loopholes in his own thinking to develop illusions, the efficiency is ridiculously high. It doesn't need to be universal, as long as it is effective for specific people."
"So, those illusions and traps outside are the results, and they are all aimed at me?"
"That's right." Belial continued, "It was a good idea to try to develop Iyanagi that didn't rely on the Sharingan, but it wasn't that easy. In the end, he couldn't extricate himself from the illusion he created, and I sealed him before he ran out of chakra."
"The third one is very realistic. He transplanted White Zetsu cells directly into Uchiha Sasuke's clone, and then injected the omnipotent potion in an attempt to obtain the Sharingan. As a result, the White Zetsu cells went berserk and devoured Uchiha Sasuke's clone, and then used Wood Release to roam around, almost destroying the entire base, and was finally sealed by me."
“The last one is the most regrettable to me.”
"What a pity?" asked Shuimu's original body.
"It's the most promising one. It didn't go astray. It's just that the research time was too short."
"What does he study?"
"Sealing technique, he wants to create a huge barrier, like the three sacred places for summoning beasts, a small world that is different from the ninja world but independent."
"Creation?" Shuimu asked in surprise, "He is really bold. This is much more difficult. It is very difficult to do it without space-time ninjutsu. What kind of world is he going to create?"
"A refuge for the soul." Beryl said softly.
"What did you say?" Shuimu asked in shock, "Is he crazy?"
"No, I don't think he's crazy, he just overestimates his own abilities."
Beryl said with some emotion.
Shuimu's main body said in a trembling voice: "This is directly against the world. It's really brave to snatch things from the Pure Land."
"No, the Impure World Reincarnation, the Samsara Tensei Jutsu, and Chiyo's Kisei Reincarnation are the ones robbing the Pure Land, and what he did was just stealing. And this isn't the first time, so it's not worth making a fuss about."
"Isn't this surprising? You said this isn't the first one?" Shuimu thought about it carefully and asked, "Are you referring to the Demonic Seal?"
"And Orochimaru's curse seal technique."
The Shiki Fujin is the highest achievement of the Uzumaki clan. Apart from the conditions and effects of its use, the core of this technique is the stomach of the god of death, a place for collecting souls. It can not only collect but also release. In the end, Orochimaru retrieved his sealed hands, and the souls of the entire fourth generation of Hokage were all released. The seal technique is the basis for Orochimaru's resurrection.
"The goal is ambitious, but failure in the end is inevitable!"
"Yes, it failed. I sealed it before its chakra ran out."
Beryl continued, "The fifth one is right beside you, responsible for connecting with you and maintaining normal communication, so as not to disturb my observation experiment. I prepared a very good method for the sixth one, but it was too late. You came before I could implement it. The seventh one is in your hands. You used it as a substitute, right?"
"You really have done a lot."
"So, I don't know if it counts as a betrayal, but if you don't come, what I'm going to do next may not please you."
"Experiments on the sixth clone?"
“Yes, I failed at the last moment.” Belial said regretfully, “It’s hard to describe the details. You’ll know everything when you get my memory.”
Facing Belial's confession, Shuimu said regretfully: "It didn't have to be like this. But who can guarantee that you will just watch like this next time you act on your own? Maybe you didn't have any ill intentions at the beginning, but can you still guarantee that you don't have any resentment now?"
