Konoha: A golden flash from the tomb

Baitu Island, the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.

Sabo has been waiting for Long for a long time. Sabo and Kella have made enough preparations to go to Impel City to rescue Ace, but the most critical step, entering Impel City, requires Long's help.

This large prison, which the navy and the world government rely heavily on, is by no means easy to enter and exit. However, compared with prisoners escaping from the prison, it is actually slightly easier for outsiders to enter it.

It's just that since the impel city prison was established, no pirate has ever thought of this.

This place is not far from the Navy Headquarters, Marineland. The Navy is familiar with the ocean currents in this area, and they have mastered advanced warships. If they want to chase a fugitive, basically no one can escape.

The Revolutionary Army is one of the few forces that has actively tested Impel Down City Prison and successfully let people infiltrate it.

Although the prisoners are all prisoners, the prisoners are not necessarily those who have committed serious crimes. After many revolutionaries who want to change the bad conditions of their countries are discovered, most of the kings of those kingdoms will contact the navy and send them here. , thrown into this cage that never sees the light of day.

And these people who dare to stand up and do these things are naturally partners of the revolutionary army. As long as they are screened and screened, many of them will provide great help.

"This is already the fourth day."

A somewhat anxious Sabo kept pacing back and forth in the room.

"Maybe Mr. Long has something equally important to do. We need a little patience, Sabo."

Kerla spoke to console him.

"I understand, but I still feel like I'm sitting here waiting...Mr. Long, you're back!"

Just when Sabo spoke, he saw the door of the command center open, and Long striding into it looked a little dusty. It seemed that he had been to many places in the past few days.

"I came back a little late. Vegapunk's transformation was a bit too complicated. It took me a while to bring the bear back."

"Mr. Big Bear? He is not doing..."

"Wait." Sabo took the initiative to stop talking. He quickly walked to Long's side and said in a slightly anxious tone: "There are only three days left. We don't have much time, Mr. Long." .”

"Don't worry, there's enough time. I've already contacted Ivankov. After I send you in, he and Lightning will come to pick you up. Ace is being held in the deepest part of Impel City. The guards there are tight. You need Be careful, if you fail, then withdraw with Ivankov and the others, we will not give up on Ace easily, but you are also important."

After saying the instructions, Long grabbed Sabo's arm, and then gently lifted it. Sabo, who was carried by the strong wind, disappeared in a swish. They were traveling with the wind at a speed dozens of times faster than the ship. Speeding across the sky, the refracted and distorted light obscured this inconspicuous little black spot.

No one saw Sabo, a big living person, fly out of the White Earth Island, and no one saw Sabo being lifted by the wind to the Impel Down Prison, which was full of naval guards.

"Ivankov established a gap between the fifth and sixth floors of the Impel City Prison. There are hidden entrances left by them in the needle mountain on the first floor, the beast's lair on the second floor, and the sea of ​​​​fire on the fourth floor.

The wind barrier can isolate your smell, shield your voice, and blur your figure. Within an hour, you need to complete the rendezvous with Ivankov without triggering any alarms to prevent the navy from transferring Ace in advance. "

"We are not pirates, so once our whereabouts are exposed, the navy and the world's government will be far more wary of us than when we encounter pirates."

"I understand, I will act carefully, Mr. Long."

After changing into night clothes that were similar in color to the walls of Impel Down, Sabo checked what he carried for the last time and nodded to the dragon.

The gentle breeze penetrated into the bricks and stones of the pushing city wall. These heavy stones were extremely dense. In order to prevent destruction by ability users, the navy also mixed some sea-floor stone powder during construction. The weak People with abilities can't even destroy the stones here, but for dragons, it's not too difficult.

As the stone moved away silently, a narrow hole appeared in a hidden corner. Sabo quietly got into the darkness and advanced silently.

After Sabo entered Impel Down City through this unexpected road, the passage behind him was also closed.

With his hands transformed into dragon claws, Sabo clasped the gap in the wall and hung lightly on the ceiling. Under the cover of the wind, he quietly passed over the heads of many guards and advanced towards the depths of the city.

Meanwhile, in the windless zone of the second half of the Grand Line.

"Something's not quite right."

Minato fell into deep thought as he looked at the nearly 2000-meter-long giant shrimp Neptune that was being trampled under his feet.

"what happened?"

Hashirama tilted his head, passing by a tentacle that looked extremely transparent in the sunlight. The shock wave caused by the sonic boom blew his hair around. If it had been before, this kind of 'stray bullet' attack would have been much more difficult. Can cause him some trouble.

"Haqi, why do we still have some clues about how to master the sight color, but we don't have any idea about how to master the weapon color?"

"Maybe it's because we haven't exercised enough?"

Hashirama bent down and broke open a piece of shrimp shell, and took out a piece of shrimp meat that was several times larger than others. He sliced ​​it with a knife and slurped it as sashimi, filling his mouth with a sweet taste.

"Exercise more, and then eat more good food, and eat well. Maybe you will learn to be armed. Isn't that what Sabo and Long said?"

"But this is what they do, or what people in this world do."

“I always felt like there was something wrong with this approach.”

"Really?" Hashirama scratched his head in confusion, "Don't you just have to practice something like strength to master it? I do the same in the ninja world."

What Hashirama said is really true. Whether it's the Immortal Human Body or anything else, Hashirama has no teacher to teach him, and no one can teach him. Wood Release is a technique that he can inexplicably produce with just a slap of his hand, so so far, Wood Release There are no formal seals for escape, because Hashirama himself doesn't know what seals should be formed, so he just uses the chakra in his body, and he has it.

"While it's possible to learn it this way, we probably don't have enough time."

"It's a useful approach, but it's probably a stupid one."

"Why do we keep exercising and practicing physical skills? What do we want to achieve?"

Hashirama, who was asked this question, really couldn't answer it. He is a talented and intuitive player. He doesn't need to understand the reason to do anything, he just needs to make sure whether he wants to do it or not.

After confirming it, just be bold and bold. All roads lead to Rome. When mountains are opened and water is cut off, you can reach it by forcing a straight line. As long as you can reach it.

"Is it to train the body's instinctive reaction and integrate the results of training into the body, so that we can make the best response without spending time thinking during battle?"

Although Kimimaro is the last among the three in terms of strength, experience, and even talent, the domineering they need to learn is what Kimimaro is good at.

Seeing, hearing, and color is the power of insight and perception, and with the reincarnation eye, his expertise in this area is even stronger than the two of them combined.

Armed color is a polish for the body, and the bone veins make Kimimaro the guy who knows the human body best. The secret technique of the corpse veins passed down from generation to generation in the Kaguya family condenses many essences of close combat.

Although Minato is also good at close-range hand-to-hand combat, he is still essentially a master, a master who walks as an assassin. The Rasengan is his sharp blade, and the Flying Thunder God gives him elusive speed.

And Hashirama... Although at first glance he looks like a super macho who is suitable for hand-to-hand combat, with the blessing of a fairy body and endless chakra, his strange punch can really smash an entire mountain in the ninja world.

But Hashirama is also a master. Whether it is the birth of the tree world, the birth of the flower tree world, or even the stronger wooden man, wooden dragon, and true thousands of hands, these are all large-scale ground-washing attacks, and there is no need at all. Physical skills.

Regarding the development of strange powers, it is more likely that he did not want to shake the earth with his hands, so he recklessly created this kind of flat A with the least destructive power.

In the face of absolute power, skills are actually a bit showy, and Hashirama is a simple and honest person who doesn't like showiness.

In terms of research on taijutsu, among the people who came here on this trip, besides Kai, No. 2 was Kimimaro.

"So, the awakening of armed color is probably the new energy that our body spontaneously absorbs certain energy and finally condenses after continuous practice?"

“What is our state like when we awaken to see and hear form?”

When Minato came out of the intense training, his relaxation allowed his mind to return to its former sharpness.

"Eager for food, extremely eager for food. In order to snatch prey out of the mouths of those sea kings, we not only have to take care of ourselves, but we also need to concentrate on observing our surroundings to sense incoming attacks and threats. "

"And when the overlord color is awakened...the will, the will to resist, the will to never surrender..."

Minato, who suddenly understood, slapped his thigh and suddenly jumped up from the ground.

"Let's go and find a quieter place."

They stepped on the water and flew away quickly, returning to the isolated island that would be submerged when the tide rose.

"Actually, what we should do most is not to listen to what they say and learn using their methods. Although this method is effective and feasible, it is not necessarily the best method."

"Remember Senju Chakra?"

"There is an extremely slight gap in the ratio between the Senjutsu Chakra of the three holy places and our own condensed Senjutsu Chakra, but it is this gap that leads to the completely different characteristics of the four Senjutsu Chakras."

"The toad's will turn to stone, the slug's will dissolve into mucus, the white snake's will cause the body to proliferate uncontrollably, and our magic chakra will return to nature and turn into dust after being overdosed."

"Then could Haki be a natural energy derivative similar to senjutsu chakra that is born after the natural energy of this world and our own abilities are fused in a certain special ratio?"

"Continuous training, mental stimulation, and outburst of will, don't they allow us to stimulate our own energy and touch the natural energy?"

"And this world has subtly affected our body's instincts, allowing us to successfully find the ratio of energy and mix it with the energy called domineering."

"We should first study the source of domineering power instead of directly copying their methods to learn how to obtain this power."

“It’s important to get, but even more important to know.”

Minato, who closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, mobilized his senses and tried his best to activate his Haki.

It's just that although seeing and hearing color haqi is a kind of energy, its existence is essentially different from Yin Escape.

Whether it is the Immortal Technique Yin Escape, the Eye Technique Yin Escape, or the Yin attribute chakra, it is all energy that can be sensed and mobilized at will by oneself. It is a kind of energy that exists in one's own body.

However, Minato can use it, but Minato cannot sense its existence.

When actively using the Haki of Knowledge, all he needs to do is let go of his perception, and then he will get a kind of feedback.

There is anticipation of attacks, insight into surrounding things, and even seeing, hearing, and color does not require active activation. It has always been continued in a passive form.

This non-'entity' attribute that is difficult to perceive and differ from chakra is also the reason why Minato did not notice that something was wrong at the first time.

At the beginning, he thought that seeing and hearing color was just a technique of spiritual energy diffusion, a technique unique to this world, and did not think that it was the same 'energy' as chakra.

But under this active urging, some hard-to-find Duan Mi was exposed to his perception.

Human insight may be limited, but the Nine Magatama Reincarnation Sharingan eyes in his eyes belong to the sacred tree.

After he fused with the sacred tree and became its new owner, the eyes he had were the same as the eyes that grew on the sacred tree.

Things that humans cannot see, in the eyes of the sacred tree, are not unable to cause observable slight fluctuations.

He saw that the spiritual energy he radiated blended with the natural energy of this world after leaving his body. It was not swallowed up, but blended in a wonderful way.

The perception of seeing, hearing and color comes from feedback from the world. The stronger the mental power is and the more it is integrated with natural energy, the more powerful this perception will be.

Seeing and hearing color haqi is indeed a kind of energy, but it does not exist in the body, but is synthesized outside the body.

But after the spiritual energy is withdrawn, the fused energy also dissipates, and naturally people cannot sense its existence.

Because the domineering energy does not exist in the body at all.

"If it's armed color..."

The heart beat like a drum.

"What we need to do is not to capture natural energy for our own use like condensing magical chakra. This world is too powerful, so powerful that as human beings there is no way to capture natural energy."

"So, in this world, the way they integrate energy is not to take it back into themselves, but to let the world hear your voice!"

"Let this powerful world perceive your existence! To respond to your existence!"

Minato showed a slightly ferocious smile.

"The eighth gate of death! Open!"

While opening the Eight Gates Dungeon, Minato suppressed the fusion of chakra in his body. His body, which was cheering due to the opening of the Eight Gates, was radiating this searing wave of energy outwards.

Although there was no chakra fluctuation at all, the burning body was like a lighted beacon, piercing the dark curtain with its dazzling light, guiding the lost ship in his direction.

"My blood is so hot right now!"

"World, have you ever seen it?"

The jet-black coating covered Minato's body, and the steel-like black luster flowed. The night covered the lighthouse with night clothes, but it did not dim the bright light in the slightest.

“Even though we can’t get it, we can use it.”

"Is this the will of this world?"

"You really show your domineering attitude."

Minato's blackness disappeared and he exhaled a breath of exhaustion.
