Chapter 200 A brief taste
To put it bluntly, Sunagakure Village's "Biological Research Institute" in Kawanoguni is actually "stealing business" with Daimaru.
Without it, those "good goods" prepared by Daimaru using "local alchemy" would definitely be sold at a higher price.
After roughly understanding the level of medical ninjas here, Daimaru lost interest in learning more.
The medical team in Sunagakure Village is really too weak. They are still at the basic stage of classifying various diseases and poisoning reactions using similar symptoms.
The so-called treatment is actually playing with mice. What is really a little safer is the medical ninjutsu passed down by the predecessors which is more effective.
It is difficult to maintain the status quo, let alone forge ahead.
"It would be great to be able to gather enough research-type medical ninjas to make this place run normally..."
Regarding Daimaru's doubts, Yoshikan said matter-of-factly,
"There are only so many people in the Kingdom of Wind, and Sand Hidden Village is not that big. How can we train so many ninjas who don't need to fight and focus on studying medical skills?"
Well, that being said, it's not that Daimaru can't understand it, but after seeing the complete medical system of Konoha Village, the huge gap is really hard to accept for a while.
"Maybe the best of Sunagakure Village's medical level is concentrated in Chiyo. 』
After a genius ninja unexpectedly appears in a certain field, he will probably be treated with caution as a "national treasure" and will be affected by it for decades.
For example, the experiences of the second generation of the Kazekage, Samana, Chiyo, and Scorpion, almost reflect the entire history of Sunagakure Village.
After Daimaru took Yeme and Qian to visit here, he asked Yoshikwan to help find a few rooms to stay in temporarily.
Daimaru was not very familiar with the old medical ninja leader named Ishihara, but fortunately with the help of Yoshikan, a senior he knew, he finally had a place to rest.
During this period of time, I had to eat and sleep in the open air, which was extremely hard.
Although ninjas have become accustomed to living without a fixed place, ghost places like Kawa no Kuni are not suitable for living in the wild. The too humid climate sometimes makes the sand ninjas who are accustomed to dry and hot winds breathless.
No, after a few days, Daimaru's body was almost moldy.
The stronghold of Sunagakure Village is based on the mountain topography, hollowing out part of it, building an underground part, and then extending it all the way to the outside.
From a distance, it looks like just a row of small villages with few buildings, but the part hidden underground by the mountain far exceeds the part above ground.
The essence of the stronghold is, of course, underground.
This is also the common situation in the strongholds of the major forces in the Kingdom of Sichuan.
After chatting with Liang Kuan for a few words, Yeme and Chihaya went back to their room to rest early.
As a chuunin, Daimaru's treatment must be different. He occupied a spacious cabin alone, thinking about the gains in the past few days.
However, Daimaru, who was worried, still couldn't sleep. He slipped out early and came to a deserted place, thinking about the changes that might happen to him.
Being able to capture a White Zetsu clone in advance was definitely an unexpected surprise beyond Daimaru's imagination.
This kind of humanoid creature full of life force is essentially a biological weapon created by the sacred tree. Although their shapes are not much different, there are still quite a few differences.
White Zetsu and his clones who are currently active in the ninja world were nominally created by Uchiha Madara using the first-generation cells integrated into himself.
But what is the real situation, Daimaru is not sure, but he knows that the huge vitality possessed by the White Zetsu clone cannot be faked.
Uchiha Obito used White Zetsu cells to not only survive when half of his body was crushed, but also to minimize the side effects of using the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Even if you have not been promoted to the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, you can still use the divine power infinitely.
For Daimaru, the White Zetsu clone is also an excellent carrier.
Although its resistance to curse seals is too high, it can make up for Ukon's consumption, which is already satisfactory.
What's even more surprising is that after being possessed by Bai Jue's clone, his own quality can be greatly improved.
As for the ability to use Wood Release, Daimaru has not discovered it so far.
In addition, the body structure of the White Zetsu clone is also very different from that of humans.
Daiwan is not sure what the other ones are like, but the one being captured now actually has no digestive system or excretory organs in the body.
In other words, the Bai Jue clone does not need to eat, and even if it eats, it will not urinate or defecate.
But as a living body, there is no power for infinite activities. So, where does the White Zetsu clone, which has an almost infinite lifespan, get the energy to survive?
Self-sufficient in photosynthesis like plants?
This is just a joke. Although Bai Jue's clone looks like a living plant from a cellular level, it is not a plant after all.
"So, where does the White Zetsu clone get "food" from? Maybe, it’s the natural energy that I can’t perceive yet! 』
This is just a baseless guess, but considering the fact that Bai Jue can resist the erosion of the curse seal, it is not a random association.
The curse seal is a degraded version of the magical chakra product, and the only thing that can compete with it is the same level of power.
It is impossible for Bai Jue's clone to know magic, so what is used to resist the curse seal is most likely to be the natural energy in the body.
in other words……
"Bai Jue is a product of the sacred tree, and may have inherited some instincts to absorb and utilize natural energy. 』
However, most of the White Zetsu clones, including the one captured by Daimaru, were not strong.
Not to mention using the powerful Wood Release, the one in Daimaru's hand, in addition to the ability to escape, also has a slightly higher physical fitness than the average Chuunin, and does not know any decent ninjutsu.
"Sora has some characteristics of high-level life, but in the end it is just an incomplete creation, too far behind. 』
The White Jue clone is a biological weapon that has exhausted all its potential, so there is no room for continued growth. However, with the help of the White Jue clone, it can allow others to break through some insurmountable bottlenecks.
In the battle with the two White Zetsu clone arms, Ukon did not have the upper hand at first, but with the "home advantage", he slowly regained his disadvantage.
At the connection point where the two fought over and over again, the flat incision marks no longer existed. Instead, there were a series of intertwined scars. If you look closely, you can see that these scars are still trembling slightly.
At the same time, a strange feeling was transmitted to Daimaru's mind along the star puppet line.
"Ukon is expressing joy instinctively, and every cell is cheering under the nourishment of the infused life energy! 』
The vitality provided by White Jue cells really helps the growth of blood inheritance boundary.
Daimaru's thoughts moved slightly, injecting powerful spiritual power into Ukon's body. In Daimaru's hopeful eyes, the competition at the cellular level in Ukon's body immediately came to a halt.
Seal chakra, spiritual power, life energy, and natural energy that Daimaru cannot yet feel are mixed in a strange way in the small body.
Ukon, who was originally relatively stable, involuntarily activated the second state of the curse seal, and continued to squeeze himself to create more and stronger curse seal chakra.
Suddenly, the cursed chakra seemed to receive inexplicable support and flowed back along the star puppet line.
Daimaru's body and spirit seemed to be oppressed by a heavy hammer, and he fell to the ground involuntarily.
At the same time, the whole body was trembling involuntarily, and every cell in the body was continuously squeezed, combined with spiritual power, and then dissipated from the body, turning into a layer of light blue chakra balls that continued to expand.
"What...what did I do?" 』
Daimaru hurriedly retracted the huge spiritual energy in Ukon's body, and the curse seal chakra that invaded him was immediately interrupted, and was then pushed out by Daimaru with all his strength.
Then he possessed Bai Zetsu to enhance his basic qualities to prevent him from falling into coma due to excessive overdraft, and finally took Ukon back into his body.
However, it was still a little late. The powerful chakra in Ukon's body that could not be easily dissipated naturally became a burden to Daimaru.
As a last resort, Daimaru formed a seal with his hands, used the shadow clone technique, and then began to use Wind Release and Vacuum Jade, shooting into the air.
Ten minutes later, Daimaru, who had finally consumed the chakra in his body to a controllable level, sat cross-legged on the ground, panting, recovering his exhausted physical strength and energy.
"The shadow clone lasts longer. The power of Wind Release and Vacuum Jade is much stronger than expected. What kind of chakra is this?" 』
It's stronger than the Chakra in the Curse Seal 2 state, but it's not the Immortal Chakra either.
The sage mode in Daimaru's mind is not so weak, but it is a bit like the feeling of using star puppet strings to control Kaguya Kimimaro and Uchiha Sasuke. Even the effect of eroding the body and spirit is so close.
"what is this? Is Ukon's Curse Seal 2 state about to be upgraded to... 2.5 state? 』
Daimaru thought randomly in his mind.
The curse seal originated from Jugo, after being transplanted by Orochimaru, added his own "private goods", and then it gained some practical value, which can help him better perform the immortal reincarnation to seize the target's body.
The ordinary curse seals on the four sound ninjas have deteriorated so badly that they are not even as corrosive as the curse seals of heaven and earth.
Of course, if you don't do this, the one-tenth survival rate of planting a curse seal will not be guaranteed.
Daimaru's actions seemed to have brought back a bit of the "sage-like" instinct in Ukon's body, which was almost developed to its limit.
Orochimaru probably wouldn't like Jugo's unrestricted "sage transformation", otherwise he wouldn't give up such a good body.
But the curse seal is indeed very powerful, so if the curse seal is slightly degraded, it will naturally be controllable. Of course, the curse seal will become a lot weaker.
Orochimaru added his own research results and turned it into a barely visible Earth Curse Seal, or even a Sky Curse Seal, which could not only induce the capture of the "body" he was interested in, but also leave him with an opportunity for resurrection.
