Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 85 Ending and Questioning

"What a shocking feeling of oppression!" Rui's face looked a little heavy as he looked at the monster that was sealed by the sealing technique and was about to be covered in mud along with its head.

According to what Lai told him, the monster in front of them was a mutation of Monim, and this mutation was simply astonishing.

Whenever he faced the other party, he would feel a sense of spiritual oppression.

The opponent's strength had been enhanced to such an extent that even he was surprised. If he faced him alone, Rui felt that it would be difficult to defeat him so quickly as he was doing now.

Namikaze Minato nodded in agreement with Rui's sigh. If they were not facing the two of them, this monster would pose a huge threat and damage to other ninjas just by relying on its elusive speed.

If you add in his incredible steel skin and recovery ability, he would be the second best killer on the battlefield after the tailed beasts.

Just as Namikaze Minato was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed and his body instantly disappeared from the spot. Almost at the same time, Rui's figure also disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The soil sealed by the sealing technique swelled up like a balloon, and then exploded. The soil mixed with blood whizzed in all directions with the sound of wind.

The explosion blew up a deep hole about 100 meters in diameter on the ground nearby, and the surrounding trees and vegetation were swept away. Looking down from the sky, the circular hole looked like a single eye embedded in the forest.

A broken mask fell from mid-air, bounced twice on the ground, and lay quietly on the ground.

brush!
brush!
Inside the pit, Namikaze Minato and Rui appeared almost at the same time. The next moment, their eyes were attracted by the mask on the ground.

"do not move!"

Just as Rui stepped forward to check the only mask left, he was urgently reminded by Minato Namikaze.

"Be careful with that mask." Namikaze Minato vaguely felt some kind of eerie power from the mask.

Rui glanced at Minato Namikaze and stopped.

"What happened just now? Didn't your sealing technique work?" At the bottom of the big pit, Rui looked at the surrounding area that was swept away by the explosion and turned into a bowl. He was a little shocked by the power of the explosion.

"I don't understand this either." Namikaze Minato smiled awkwardly and replied inexplicably. However, he had a guess in his mind that it should be related to the power of the monster that was similar to the power of nature.

"I want to take this mask!" Rui could of course see that Minato Namikaze was hiding something, but he did not continue to ask. He pointed at the mask and made a firm demand.

Monim, who turned into a monster, is dead, so the mask he left behind must belong to the Cloud Ninja.

Obviously, there is a big secret in this mask, perhaps it involves the Sage Mode! In any case, for the Cloud Ninja who pursues power, it cannot be given up.

Minato Namikaze was a little embarrassed.

But soon, he no longer needed to worry.

The Cloud Ninja envoys and the Third Hokage who hurried over with a team of Anbu made Minato Namikaze breathe a sigh of relief.

"What happened? Where is that monster?" Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had learned some information on the way here, landed next to Namikaze Minato. Looking at the big hole under his feet, he had some guesses in his mind and asked Minato Namikaze beside him.

"Rui and I worked together to defeat that monster. This is the trace left after it self-exploded." Namikaze Minato explained it concisely to the Third Hokage.

"The monster that transformed is Monim, the Jonin of the Cloud Ninja. I need to take this mask back." Rui created a thunder clone and stepped forward to pick up the mask on the ground.

As a result, as soon as his lightning clone touched the mask, it turned into an unstable human-shaped electric light and began to spread around.

This is a sign that the technique can no longer maintain stability and is beginning to collapse.

snort!
Rui groaned.

The lightning clone finally turned into a ball of lightning and dissipated in front of everyone's eyes. Part of the chakra that was separated disappeared into the air, and part was absorbed by the mask.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the mask on the ground that looked like it was crying but not crying.

"Shall I try using my shadow clone?" Namikaze Minato looked at Rui tentatively.

Rui wanted to refuse, but after looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, he nodded silently. Although he was worried that the mask would fall into the hands of Namikaze Minato and be directly teleported away by Flying Thunder God, the current scene, his understanding of Namikaze Minato, and his curiosity about the mask made him temporarily suppress the sudden worry in his heart.

With Rui's permission, Minato Namikaze skillfully formed a seal to create a shadow clone, and then, imitating Rui Lei's clone, stepped forward and picked up the mask.

Just like a replay of what happened just now, the shadow clone exploded into a cloud of smoke in the air, causing the mask that had been picked up to fall back to the ground.

Namikaze Minato, who obtained all the feelings and memories after the shadow clone exploded, also groaned, and after calming down the suddenly chaotic chakra in his body, he frowned and said.

"The mask has some kind of power that can absorb and interfere with the stability of chakra. It's best not to touch it, otherwise it may affect the refinement and use of your own chakra."

Rui, somewhat unconvinced, activated the Lightning Chakra mode and ran it at full power, activated the Lightning Armor, stepped forward and grabbed the mask on the ground.

A strange force entered Rui's body through the mask, and the lightning chakra mode on Rui's body immediately began to flicker as if there was a poor contact.

Rui even felt that the power was eroding his chakra and mental consciousness. A whisper kept ringing in his mind and eventually turned into his voice.

pat!

The mask was thrown out, fell to the ground, bounced twice, and lay face down on the ground.

Rui felt something foreign entering his body, and the arm holding the mask felt numb and out of control. But at the same time, he also felt a slight increase in his chakra. If he hadn't been carefully feeling his body, this increase would have been easily overlooked.

"Salam." Rui stepped back a few steps and his eyes fell on a female ninja from the Kumo Ninja Envoy Group. Salam came out with a scroll on her back, used the sealing technique to seal the mask, and finally opened the scroll on her back, placed the mask on a seal, and sealed it with a seal. After doing all this, she silently returned to the team.

Because of this sudden situation, the Cloud Ninja delegation had no intention of returning to Konoha Village. After quickly signing the peace document on the spot, Namikaze Minato and the Anbu behind the Third Hokage escorted the Cloud Ninja delegation out of the Land of Fire.

"Hokage-sama, the technology development department was stolen, including the technology for making the healing talisman."

On the way back to the village, a hurried Anbu instantly appeared in front of the Third Hokage, knelt on one knee and reported.

"I understand." The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, looked at the peace document that had just been signed in his hand, and finally sighed, not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

If they caught up and kept the Cloud Ninja delegation behind, there was no doubt that the Third Raikage, with his hot temper, would immediately abandon the battlefield between the Cloud Ninja, Sand Ninja, and Rock Ninja, and frantically attack Konoha to rescue Rui, Killer Bee and the others.

In this case, Konoha would have to immediately face the mad dog-like Cloud Ninja, as well as the Iwagakure behind them, and perhaps also the Mist Ninja swaying on the battlefield.

Konoha will be dragged into the quagmire of war by the Kumogakure ninjas in no time.

Even if one obtains the technology to make the Healing Talisman, without enough medical ninjas and skills, it would be difficult to recover quickly and master the ability to make it.

At least in this war, there is no need to worry about this in the short term.

Of course, if possible, you can also use spies to get back the lost items. If you go back, discuss it with your old friend Danzo.

The Third Hokage put on the Hokage's hat and walked towards the village.

……

"Pity."

Orochimaru, dressed in a ninja outfit, looked in the direction where the Cloud Ninja delegation disappeared, with a tone of regret in his voice.

"Is there something wrong with the plan?" Uchiha Shisui asked softly beside him.

"No, what Orochimaru-sensei meant by 'a pity' is probably that the experiment was terminated and could not proceed to the final step." There was also a look of regret on Lu Nie's face.

The transformation did not reach the last step before it was forcibly stopped by Rui and Namikaze Minato. Otherwise, he would like to see how powerful a jonin can become after breaking the boundary between ninja and sage.

"But there's still a chance, isn't there?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

He remembered the mask Rui had taken away.

"My reverse summoning time is almost up, and it's time for you to go back to the village. I think Sarutobi-sensei will definitely call you to ask you something." Without waiting for Shikagawa to reply, Orochimaru took the initiative to speak again.

He should be confronting Kumogakure at the border of Konoha now.

With a bang, Orochimaru's figure disappeared from the spot.

"Let's go back too." Lu Nie said as he began to make hand seals. The Two-Tails was summoned out by him, the shadow domain opened up, and Lu Nie and Shisui's bodies quickly sank into the shadow domain.

After Shisui and Kane disappeared into the shadow realm, the Two-Tails also turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Technology Development Department.

At the exit of the shadow zone set by Lu Nie, the figures of Lu Nie and Shisui walked out of the glowing door.

Not long after, Lu Nie received a notice from the Anbu and followed the Anbu who came to notify him to the Hokage Building. He saw the Third Hokage, who looked tired, in the Hokage's office.

"Luo Nei is here." Seeing Lu Nei, the Sandaime forced a smile on his face.

"Hokage-sama." Lu Nie bowed to him.

"Is the monster that appeared in the village a product of the Technology Development Department?" the Third Hokage asked softly.

"Which monster?" Lu Nie blinked and looked at the third generation strangely.

"Ninjas from the Kumo Ninja Envoys infiltrated the Technology Development Department and stole some confidential information, including the technology for making healing talismans.

Then one of the intruders mutated and turned into a monster with a mask. I just want to know, does the loss of the healing talisman have any impact on the Technology Development Department? In addition, does the Technology Development Department have this kind of technology that can make people mutated? "The tone of the Third Hokage was calm and gentle.

Although the chakra erupted by the monster before was not as strong as that of the tailed beast, the oppression and sense of presence it gave people were equally strong.

To the ninja with keen perception, the presence of the monster's chakra was as dazzling as the sun in the sky.

He didn't have any intention of blaming him, he just wanted to understand. In the technical development department under Orochimaru, many experiments were not public and were not reported. If he wanted to know some relevant information, he had to take the initiative to ask.

"You want to know if the Healing Talisman is lost, and if the thief can quickly replicate the crafting technology of the Healing Talisman and produce it in large quantities, right?"

After asking, Lu Nie saw the Sandaime nod, and then continued: "It depends on the reserves of various ninjas of the thief, as well as the overall strength of the village.

But in the short term, we don't have to worry about the technology of the healing talisman being mastered by other ninja villages. In addition, Senior Pharmacist Nono and I have already started to develop a new generation of medical ninja tools. Even if it is not lost, in the future, Master Orochimaru plans to promote it to other ninja villages like the detonating talisman. "

"As for the alienation, it's better to say that it's the ninja's transformation into an immortal!" Lu Nie pondered for a moment and gave the Sandaime an answer that shocked him.

"Sage transformation?" The Sandaime's face suddenly turned serious. As the Hokage of Konoha and the teacher of the Sannin, he certainly knew what the so-called Sage transformation was.

That is an enhancement that increases a ninja's strength in all aspects and brings him to an extremely powerful realm!

But he also knew the difficulty of becoming an immortal.

Those beings are called immortals! The techniques they use are also called immortal techniques. Their strength and power far exceed the ninjutsu of ninjas.

His three disciples are all qualified to practice immortal arts, but so far only Jiraiya has been able to barely master the power of immortal arts.

"Yes, extract and purify the natural energy and modulate it to a level that the ninja can accept. Although there are still risks, it is much safer than directly practicing the fairy arts in the three holy places, and the success rate is much higher." Lu Nie replied.

Does the Technology Development Department have any projects to research immortalization?

Of course there are.

Even if the Third Hokage needs it now, Lu Nei can provide him with the entire set of experimental procedures and results.

But what alienated Monim was not the project of making him an immortal, but a further step, involving not only the power of nature, but also research projects on the ninja's emotions, will, soul, etc.

"I haven't heard Orochimaru talk about this project." The Third Hokage said softly.

"Because it hasn't really succeeded yet." Lu Nie answered quickly. "It's called the Curse Seal, which allows people to passively have the ability to absorb and distribute natural forces.

Of course, it can only be said to be an inferior version of immortalization, and it is very risky. "

"Is that so? I understand." The Third Hokage nodded thoughtfully, and after asking a few more questions about Lu Ni's practice, he let him go.
