Chapter 233 Success is called courage, failure is extreme stupidity, and we are all like this

“Live Slug, can I take some of those trees back?”

“Please, Lord Menma, these trees are useless to me.”

Menma walked in the Wet Bone Forest, looking for things around that might be useful.

He walked to the top of a hill with the live slug and Karin, and then stopped.

There is a clear stream here, with fat fish in the stream, and a small vegetable field next to it, with some green vegetables planted.

In addition, there are dozens of small live slugs crawling slowly on several wooden houses built of white wood, as if they are using their mucus to deal with the insects and stains on the wooden houses.

“This is the wooden house that the contractor once built. For convenience, a vegetable field and a house were built here to solve the problem of food and accommodation.”

Live Slug said so.

However, Menma looked at the “pond” next to the wooden house.

There was a pool of turbid milky white liquid in it. He felt the rich natural energy from it, which had even condensed into mist visible to the naked eye.

“Living slug, what is that?”

“Sir Menma should know some information and intelligence about fairy arts, right?”

Menma nodded slightly, but did not answer, but looked at the little Karin who was holding the hand beside him.

Noticing the teacher’s gaze, Karin reacted immediately and answered without hesitation: “The so-called fairy technique is to integrate the chakra from one’s own practice with the natural energy absorbed from the outside world to form a unique fairy technique chakra system. Once practiced successfully, the fairy technique can increase the illusion, ninjutsu, and physical skills by several times or even more than ten times.”

“A concise and perfect summary answer. It seems that Lord Karin has received professional fairy technique knowledge.”

Live Slug said with a little surprise in his gentle tone: “If you want to practice fairy techniques, you must learn to perceive natural energy, but for humans with complex minds, it is very difficult to perceive natural energy. Some humans cannot reach the first stage of perceiving natural energy after more than ten years or even decades.”

Live Slug understood that Menma brought Karin to the Wet Bone Forest because he saw her talent and hoped that she could learn fairy techniques. However, since ancient times, more than 95% of humans who went to the Wet Bone Forest to practice fairy techniques ended in failure.

“So, the magic is about knowing the basic theory, and it is also very difficult to learn?”

“Yes.”

The slug nodded and said, “So when teaching humans to practice magic, there are also special ways to help them perceive natural energy.

As it said that, its tentacles pointed to the pool next to it and said, “This is the slug liquid I secrete. Soaking in it and applying it on the body can not only heal injuries and remove poisons, but also enhance the ability to perceive natural energy.”

“Soak and apply? I understand. ”

Little Karin nodded.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will stay here for the next period of time to learn fairy arts.

But Karin is also a little impatient and wants to officially enter the stage of practicing fairy arts.

After all, this is a “fairy art”.

It seems that only Jiraiya, one of the “Three Ninjas of Konoha”, has mastered this power in the entire ninja world.

Even Tsunade and Orochimaru, who are also “Three Ninjas of Konoha”, have not mastered the power of “fairy arts”.

Looking at the pool with no visible boundaries, Menma’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he asked: “Can the slug liquid be taken outside for long-term storage?”

Treat injuries, remove poisons, enhance the perception of natural energy…

This is a good thing for healing and assisting in practice!

“Sorry, no.”

The living slug saw Menma’s thoughts, shook his head and said: “Slug liquid is something that natural energy is transformed through my body, just like the snake venom in Ryuchi Cave and the toad oil in Myoboku Mountain. It will soon lose its effect when it reaches the outside world. ”

“Moreover, if this thing is used for a long time, the human body will transform into the body of a slug, and if you are not careful, you may absorb too much natural energy and become petrified.”

Hearing this, Karin was shocked.

Transform into the body of a slug?

Become a sticky slug?

Eh! Da-me!

“Is that so? That’s a pity. ”

Menma was not too disappointed.

If this good thing that can greatly reduce the casualty rate can really be brought to the ninja world for human use, Tsunade would have given it to the Konoha ninja long ago.

However, a thought flashed in Menma’s eyes.

“Slug liquid, toad oil, snake venom…”

He had been thinking about why learning the fairy arts of “Myoboku Mountain” and “Ryuchi Cave” would have the characteristics of frog and snake transformation.

Now it seems that it is not only because of the physical differences between toads, slugs, snakes and humans, but also because of the subtle influence of slug liquid, toad oil, and snake venom.

Fortunately, the living slug did not hide anything from the contractor like the White Snake Immortal and the Great Toad Immortal.

“What’s wrong, Lord Menma?”

As if seeing Menma’s doubts, the living slug softly assured: “Under my guidance, you don’t have to worry about yourself becoming too serious a slug, and I won’t cut corners like Gamamaru and the White Snake. ”

Although the contract was just signed, Menma gave it a completely different feeling from ordinary humans.

Careful and self-aware, knowing what to do, what not to do, what can be done, and what cannot be done.

Although learning magic will become more difficult, the advantage is that the body will not undergo major changes.

But Menma shook his head: “Since I have signed a contract with you, of course I will not doubt you again.”

This time the beast was completely confused.

“What do you mean?”

Menma did not respond to its doubts, but looked at the stone slug statues.

“These must be the humans who failed to practice immortality in the past thousand years.”

“…Yes, although I have tried my best to look after them, there are still contractors who are greedy for success and do not listen to dissuasion.”

There are less than ten of them, which looks much less than the rows of toad statues on Mt. Miaomu.

Unable to control the balance of natural energy in the body, it is assimilated by the natural energy flowing into the body.

This is not the manipulation of the three holy places, but the nature of the natural energy itself.

Menma frowned and asked, “Slug, besides your three holy places, are there any other places that have the inheritance of immortal arts?”

The living beetle couldn’t help but be startled when he heard this.

After thinking for a long time, he responded: “Thousands of years ago, there was indeed a magic system that did not belong to the three holy places. There were also humans with strong affinity for natural energy. However, as time has passed, I have not heard of it for hundreds of years. pass.”

if not

“…it’s happened before, that’s it.”

Menma’s eyes became dark, with an inexplicable color.

He has already obtained the immortal arts training system of Longdi Cave and Miaomu Mountain.

I haven’t chosen to practice cultivation for a long time because I know there are pitfalls in it.

The magical system of the three holy places may be suitable for frogs, snakes, and slugs, but it is likely to collide with the human body structure.

The body structure of frogs, snakes, and slugs is completely different from that of humans.

In order to ensure that one can learn magic, corresponding biological characteristics will be generated.

“Slug transformation”, “frog transformation”, and “snake transformation” are all about the assimilation of body structure.

Despite this, mortality and failure rates remain extremely high.

This shows that the immortal arts system of the three holy places is not suitable for the human body system.

However, in this dark road, we have to find a magical system suitable for humans…

I’m afraid it won’t be possible within a few decades.

After all, the human body structure is more complex and richer than that of frogs, snakes, and slugs. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

After hesitating for a moment, Menma suddenly asked: “Libby, if you had to choose, which place do you think is most likely to retain the inheritance of immortal magic belonging to humans?”

The living dragon has existed for thousands of years and is a living history book.

If even the “outsider” Menma doesn’t know, then only these living fossils may know.

After all, this is a completely real world.

Even if the original protagonist Naruto dies, even if he Uzumaki Menma dies, the world will still go on as usual.

“If you have to choose…”

The slug’s antennae drooped down, as if it was lowering its head and thinking.

After a moment, he said with hesitation in his tone: “Perhaps, the Kingdom of Ghosts is the most likely place where the inheritance of immortal arts can exist.”

Hearing this answer, Menma couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Is it actually a country of ghosts?”

The major countries in the ninja world are the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Wind, and the Kingdom of Thunder.

But apart from them, not all small countries will be classified as neutral countries.

For example, the Country of Rain, the Country of Rivers, the Country of Grass… Although these countries are small countries, they are still in danger of being destroyed by big countries.

Only small countries with very remote locations and special significance, such as the Country of Snow, the Country of Iron, and the Country of Tang, can become neutral countries.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is also a member of the Neutral Country, and it is an extremely special existence.

Its governance model is different from most countries in the ninja world.

Oni no Kuni is a country without daimyo rule.

The supreme ruler is not a daimyo, but a being named “Miko”, who can be regarded as an outlier in the ninja world.

It is said that the shrine maiden who holds the power in the Kingdom of Demons has the mysterious power to see into the future.

And he also possesses unknown sealing techniques, which can seal all kinds of monsters and monsters passed down from ancient times.

Menma had also considered this mysterious country when choosing Akatsuki’s residence.

However, the miko’s ability to predict the future is too mysterious.

Menma even suspected that the nature of precognitive ability was “substitute death”.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Ghosts also seals the monster “Sprite”. The ghost and the witch have a symbiotic relationship, and it is not as easy to deal with as the Box of Bliss.

That’s why Menma finally chose the country of Yuki no Yuki as his base.

“I actually don’t know much about the Kingdom of Ghosts, but I know a little bit about the ruler of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Miko.”

The living beetle explained: “Like Gamamaru, they have the mysterious power to predict the future, and they also have the responsibility and mission of guarding and sealing demons.”

“Sealing demons is one of the reasons why the Kingdom of Demons became a neutral country, and the ability of witches to predict the future is also widely spread in the Kingdom of Demons and surrounding countries. Just ask the nobles and commoners of the Kingdom of Demons, and they will tell the inquirer, The witch’s ability to predict the future is 100% accurate, and she has not made a single mistake so far.”

“Perhaps for other people, this is just a talk after dinner. There is no unified generalization about whether it is true or false, but I know very well that witches do have this ability.”

“The most important thing is that they still retain the ancient sealing technique, and judging from the way they cast the technique, it is not the “Nine-Character Bodyguard Technique” from the Ninja Clan, so I think the shrine maidens may still retain the inheritance of the immortal technique.”

The shrine maidens of the Land of Demons…

Still retain the ancient sealing technique?

Menma was also curious when he heard this.

“Nine-Character Bodyguard Technique” is the “seal” that ninjas need to cast when performing ninjutsu today.

This method originated from the “Ninja Clan” founded by the Six Paths Sage. It was originally intended to make it easier for ordinary people to condense chakra and mobilize chakra to use ninjutsu for production activities.

And most of the sealing technique knowledge and theories in the ninja world today come from the Uzumaki clan.

If it is true as the living slug said, the shrine maidens did not use the “Nine-Character Bodyguard Technique”, then it can only be a more ancient way of casting the technique.

That is, the ancient times when Kaguya Otsutsuki ruled.

Thinking of this, Menma couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, and the light flickered.

The existence of natural energy and fairy arts is a native force of the ninja world, and most people have never heard of it.

Even among the ninja community, only a very small number of people know about natural energy.

Even the Six Paths Sage learned fairy arts from the Great Toad Sage.

In the end, relying on the blessing of fairy arts, he successfully sealed his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki.

In this way, the only place where fairy arts may be passed down is such an ancient country of demons.

“The shrine maiden of the Land of Demons? I see.”

Menma smiled: “I will visit her when I go back.”

“But, by the way, does the shrine maiden have any taboos?”

“Taboos?”

Live Slug thought for a moment, shook his head and said: “I haven’t heard of this. I only know that she has the ability to see through the future and is always right in predicting life and death.”

“…This ability is indeed a problem.”

Menma touched his chin and said thoughtfully: “The ability to see through the future, I wonder if she can see my future, I really want to see it.”

Dragon veins, big toad sage, Uchiha Izumi’s Mangekyō Sharingan, and the alien Otsutsuki who is unknown whether they exist…

Now there is another shrine maiden of the Land of Demons.

Anything related to time is undoubtedly very powerful and mysterious, and it is easy to involve the so-called “fate”.

Just like hating the old toad who pretends to be crazy, Menma has always disliked these inexplicable things.

The gentle voice of the living slug was full of curiosity, and he asked: “Master Menma, aren’t you worried that your future will be a tragedy?”

Although it was the first time I saw him, it was not difficult to guess that Menma was the one mentioned by Gamamaru, the son of destruction who would bring despair to the ninja world in the future.

Bringing despair to the entire ninja world means fighting against the ninja world.

In the eyes of the living slug, it is absolutely impossible to do it alone, and Menma’s future is destined to failure and death.

“Living slug, humans are such an existence full of infinite possibilities…”

Menma rubbed the head of the little Karin beside him: “Everyone is fighting to know the right way to survive.”

“What is the top? Why fight? How to survive?”

“No one can tell us the answer, we can only run aimlessly.”

“Until we find our goal.”

“Knowing that it is impossible to do it, success is called courage, failure is extremely stupid, and we are the same.”
