Chapter 241: First Conversation With Six Paths
Orochimaru on the side opened his mouth wide and looked at Mizuki blankly.
Mizuki's appearance remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened from head to toe.
But Orochimaru clearly noticed that Mizuki had changed.
This is an internal change, not a change in external image.
When he closed his eyes, he could "see" a shadow rising from Mizuki's body, emitting immeasurable light and as bright as the sun.
It is supremely high and majestic.
The powerful oppressive force radiated made Orochimaru feel uncontrollable fear in his heart, and he had the urge to kneel down and worship.
It's like an illusion, but also like a real scene.
Orochimaru wanted to move and say something.
But he couldn't do anything, and even his thinking began to stagnate.
"Business matters!"
Mizuki quickly regained his mental strength, and if he continued to play, he would not be able to hold on any longer.
The next moment, he raised his hand and pointed forward.
An invisible barrier breaks through a gap, and on the other side of the gap is the pure land.
Mizuki didn't go in, that's not the world of the living, it's the void world constructed by spiritual power, and it's the destination of the dead.
It cannot accommodate real matter, nor can it accommodate the thoughts of living people.
Mizuki could feel that if he forced his spiritual power into it, it would cause unpredictable and serious consequences.
However, he noticed that countless light points rose from the pure land. These light points were pure soul power, and they hit one place.
The center of the light point is where the Sage of Six Paths is, and everything is absorbed by the Sage of Six Paths.
After Sage of Six Paths absorbed these light points, its soul became stronger and stronger, and its aura became stronger and stronger.
Mizuki understands.
Sage of Six Paths, this is spiritual cultivation with the help of the Pure Land.
Mizuki didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. He just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
"Heretic. Rinne Tensei Technique!"
Green light shrouded Ura Shiki's body on the experimental table.
But in just a moment, the green light dissipated, and Urashiki was not revived.
Rinne Tensei Technique, failed.
And it is different from the scene when Naruto failed to resurrect little Sakura.
Mizuki's expression changed slightly, "What's going on? Why did the resurrection fail?"
It's like Ura Shiki's soul doesn't exist in this world at all.
"Could it be Sage of Six Paths?"
The Ninth Divine Gate state is not over yet. Although Mizuki feels more and more tired, he can still hold on a little longer.
He sent a spiritual wave somewhere in the air.
"Sage of Six Paths, did you take away Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's soul?"
"I have a question to ask him. Please give me his soul."
"Don't worry, I will return it to you after asking questions."
In the void, Sage of Six Paths, who was several feet tall, opened his eyes and looked at Konoha. The shadow on Mizuki's body was too conspicuous in the eyes of Sage of Six Paths.
In comparison, Sage of Six Paths's several-foot-tall spiritual body is as small as an ant.
Chūnin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Compared with Naruto, Mizuki's spiritual body after opening the Ninth Divine Gate is really too big.
After Naruto opened the Ninth Divine Gate, his spiritual body was only a thousand feet high.
But Mizuki's has reached ten thousand feet, which is not on the same level at all.
"Young Mizuki!" Sage of Six Paths spoke, and said in an old-fashioned way: "The soul of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki does not exist with me!"
Mizuki frowned and said: "Urashiki was killed, his soul is not in the Pure Land, and it is not here with you, so where is it?"
"It's impossible to disappear into thin air!"
Sage of Six Paths said: "People of the Ōtsutsuki clan don't die that easily."
"Even if you are killed, you are not necessarily dead. The Ōtsutsuki clan has a secret method called 'Wedge', which allows you to be reborn."
"After the body dies, the soul will immediately return to the host of 'Wedge', waiting for resurrection."
"Of course, this is just my guess. The Ōtsutsuki clan is too mysterious and I don't know much about it."
Mizuki also knows about the secret technique of rebirth of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
At this time Mizuki was very unwilling.
It would be extremely difficult to find Ura Shiki again through the "Wedge". It was even unknown whether Ura Shiki's host was on this planet or not.
He just wanted to get information about the Noble Phantasm "Plough" from Urashiki.
But now Ura Shiki's soul is missing, and the clues about the "Plough" have been interrupted.
Mizuki's plan came to nothing!
This trip to Konoha was a waste of time.
"Damn it!"
Mizuki was very angry, and suddenly, he focused his attention on Sage of Six Paths.
Sage of Six Paths frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Since I learned that you are not a Ten Tails larvae, my hostility towards you has dissipated, but I am not afraid of you."
"You have indeed become very powerful after opening the Ninth Divine Gate, but it is impossible to kill me."
"I control the Pure Land and can escape into it at any time. If you want to force others into the Pure Land to kill me, you will surely suffer the backlash from all spirits."
Mizuki smiled and said: "No, you misunderstood, I have no intention of attacking you."
"I want to ask, do you know that there is a precious phantom of the Ōtsutsuki clan left in the ninja world?"
"If you know, can you tell me the current whereabouts of that precious phantom?"
Sage of Six Paths frowned: "The Noble Phantasm of the Ōtsutsuki clan?"
His reaction disappointed Mizuki.
It's obvious that Sage of Six Paths doesn't know about plowing either.
Sage of Six Paths said: "I once heard my mother say that there are only a handful of Noble Phantasms owned by the Ōtsutsuki clan, and none of them are extremely precious. How could they be left behind in the ninja world?"
"When mother and the others came to the ninja world, they didn't bring any treasures with them!"
Mizuki didn't give up and asked again: "You really don't know?"
He refused to give up and waited for Sage of Six Paths's answer. As long as the other party had the slightest mental fluctuation, Mizuki would be able to tell that he was lying.
Unfortunately, the result still disappointed Mizuki.
Sage of Six Paths said: "Although I control the Pure Land and monitor the Ninja World, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I don't know many things in the Ninja World."
"Furthermore, only the purebred Ōtsutsuki clan can sense the Noble Phantasm of the Ōtsutsuki clan at close range. I was born from a mother and a human. Even if the Noble Phantasm is placed in front of me, I will not notice it, let alone use it."
"Don't say it's me. Even if my mother is resurrected, I won't be able to find the Noble Phantasm without a chance."
In fact, what's more curious about Sage of Six Paths is that Mizuki is not Ōtsutsuki, so what does he need Ōtsutsuki's Noble Phantasm for?
If you can’t use it even if you take it, why bother looking for it.
Mizuki sighed inwardly.
Even Sage of Six Paths didn't know, and now the clues to "Plow" were interrupted again.
"How about I collect the dragon veins from the ancient city of Loulan in the Kingdom of Wind and give them to my disciples to trigger the return?"
The dragon vein also has the function of allowing people to travel through time and space. If it is sent out, maybe the system can return a stronger dragon vein that allows him to travel back to the earth.
Naruto has traveled through time.
However, compared to Dragon Vein, Mizuki feels that the Noble Phantasm "Plough" is more worth looking forward to.
After all, the Dragon Vein's travel through time and space is uncontrollable, allowing people to travel through it without even realizing it. The "plow" can be controlled, and after the system is returned, the effect will definitely be better.
But now that the "plow" is not available, we can only settle for the next best thing and put our hope in the dragon's veins.
Regardless of whether it works or not, you have to give it a try.
Mental exhaustion was getting stronger, and Mizuki said to Sage of Six Paths: "Excuse me!"
Then the mental power shrank rapidly.
The Ninth Divine Gate was also forced to close.
In the laboratory, Mizuki's body shook slightly and he was a little unsteady.
My head was dizzy and I felt very bad.
This was the first time he opened the Ninth Divine Gate. It only lasted a few seconds, but it consumed a lot of mental power.
On the contrary, there were no physical injuries, which was completely different from the side effects of the previous Eight Gate.
At this time, Orochimaru also came to his senses.
"Mizuki-kun, just now..."
Mizuki shook his head and said, "Resurrection of Urashiki failed. I'm sorry for disturbing you today. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Mizuki left Flying Thunder God directly. He was very exhausted now and had to go back and take a good rest.
Orochimaru watched Mizuki disappear and couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick it.
"The feeling just now was so terrifying. Is this Mizuki-kun's true strength?"
"Nine Gate Dunjia, the Ninth Divine Gate, is really powerful!"
"It seems that my understanding of life is still too simple."
Orochimaru turned his gaze to Urashiki's corpse on the experimental table, his eyes growing hotter.
He waved, and immediately another Anbu came to him and knelt down on one knee.
"Let those researchers come back immediately and continue their research. I want to figure out the reason for the long lifespan of the Ōtsutsuki clan within three months."
Anbu said, "Yes," and then disappeared in a flash.
Soon, the group of researchers returned to the laboratory again, but they all had grimaces and frowns.
"Are you kidding me, three months?"
At this time Orochimaru had returned to the Hokage office. As soon as he sat down, an Anbu appeared with a piece of information in his hand.
"Lord Hokage, Beilihu's whereabouts have been found!"
Orochimaru, who had just sat down, stood up in surprise.
"Very good!"
"Have Might Guy, Sarutobi Asuma, and Yuhi Kurenai come to see me immediately."
Anbu obeyed and left to find someone.
The smile on Orochimaru's face couldn't stop.
"Finally found it. Now, my Three Tomoe Sharingan can evolve into Mangekyō Sharingan."
"One against seven, are you ready? Your eyes will soon be mine."
"Eternal Mangekyō, I already know how to obtain it."
At this time, outside Fenghuang Village.
Uchiha Itachi and Ci Xian, long overdue!
"One against seven, is your brother in this village?"
"You told me that saving your brother is protecting Konoha in disguise, because your brother will protect Konoha with us."
"But why do I feel like something is wrong?"
