From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 333: Mastering Chakra and Orochimaru's greed.

"Refining chakra is not as difficult as you think." Bane quickly tried again.

This thing can really be said to be new the first time, familiarity comes the second time. As long as you can do it the first time, a path will be formed in the body afterwards. You don't even need to meditate deliberately. The body can function naturally and condense chakra energy.

This is not a special phenomenon. Most ninjas are like this, unless they are doing special training and use meditation to speed up the concentration of chakra.

If there is nothing urgent on weekdays, normal life can keep the chakra constantly condensed, just like many ninjas, after exhausting their chakra, they end the battle, go home and take a nap, and then they can partially recover.

At the beginning, thinking that only by combining physical energy and mental energy can condense chakra, Bane also considered whether the consumption of physical energy would limit the speed of chakra accumulation.

Don't concentrate chakra for a while, or your physical strength will be exhausted and you will need to rest before you can recover and continue.

But after experimenting for a while, he found that this was not the right idea.

After physical energy and spiritual energy combine to become chakra, they are not actually consumed, but are simply retained in the body in a different way.

Unless you use ninjutsu to release the energy, you will feel the loss of physical and mental strength. Otherwise, it has not left your body at all, so how can it be consumed?
On the contrary, after condensing chakra, chakra can serve as a more essential energy. The more chakra you store, the less physical energy you consume and the better your spirits will be.

This kind of performance really made Bane feel like he was cultivating immortality, and he was becoming more and more powerful!
"Generally speaking, it takes a certain amount of time to condense chakra for the first time. Some people are often unable to sense it after ten days or eight months. Although you, Lingzun, have some troubles, you have been able to achieve this step in such a short time. It is obvious that you have a strong talent." Orochimaru flattered.

Ben didn't care whether he meant it sincerely or not, he nodded calmly and said, "You are the one who taught me well."

"Then let's test the nature of your chakra, Rei-zun." Orochimaru smiled first, then took out a few chakra test papers from his arms and said, "The nature of the chakra can be shown on these test papers. For example, water-attributed chakra can make the test paper moist. Generally speaking, everyone has their own more 'heavy' chakra attribute."

After explaining the nature of chakra, Orochimaru handed the test paper to Bane and said, "You just need to release chakra to soak the test paper, and you can get the result."

Bane nodded, then mobilized the chakra in his body, which flowed out from his fingers and stained the test paper.

Watching this scene, Orochimaru said, "What's next, huh?"

He seemed to be about to say something, but was confused by the situation before him.

Normally, the test paper can only measure five attributes, namely wind, thunder, water, fire and earth, but the yin and yang attributes cannot be measured. The yin and yang attributes are the manifestations of spiritual energy and physical energy.

Test strips often appear burned, wet, wrinkled, broken, or cut in half.

But at this moment, the test paper in Bane's hand turned black directly, as if it was stained with ink. Orochimaru had never seen such a situation before.

"What is this?" Ban also looked up at Orochimaru, his expression somewhat confused and speculative.

Could it be related to my dark element?

Orochimaru took the test paper, looked at it carefully, and said doubtfully: "Could it be that the test paper has expired? Lingzun, wait a moment, I will try it."

As he spoke, he released his chakra and soaked it into the black test paper, wanting to see if there would be any changes. However, as soon as his chakra was released, it was quickly swallowed up by the dark test paper.

Orochimaru???
Seeing this scene, Ban had already gotten the answer. Seeing that Orochimaru was confused, he explained: "I think I understand. Maybe my chakra is contaminated with my personal characteristics."

"Your personal characteristics?" Orochimaru looked at Bane puzzledly.

"You can also understand it as the 'bloodline limit' you mentioned before. I have the ability to absorb all energy." Bane said here, looking at Orochimaru and said: "You can try to use your ninjutsu to attack me."

"This..." Orochimaru hesitated, but after a moment, he felt that this might be a good opportunity to test the Spirit Master.

Although his instinct and aura told him that Ling Zun was very strong, they had never really fought each other, right?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru straightened his expression and said, "I'm sorry, Lingzun."

"Go ahead," Bane said generously.

Orochimaru stood up, then retreated more than ten meters and began to release the seals in his hands.

He was good at using wind-style ninjutsu, mainly because he was more comfortable with it and could form hand seals faster. There was no time urgency now, and considering that it would be better to have greater power, Orochimaru chose to use fire-style ninjutsu.

In fact, he was not slow in forming the hand seals for the Fire Style. In almost an instant, the complex hand seals had already been formed. At the same time, Orochimaru took a deep breath and said, "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!!!"

With one breath, three scorching fire dragons spurted out of his mouth, streaking in the left, middle and right directions, and finally merged into a flame impact in front of Bane.

The hot breath instantly made the damp cave dry, and all the moisture in the air evaporated. But the next second, a touch of dark element bloomed from Bane's fingertips, as if the dark element had infinite attraction. The flame changed direction out of thin air as if returning to its nest, and crashed into the dark element, and was quickly swallowed up by the dark element. If the temperature around it had not dropped, it would have been as if Orochimaru had performed an illusion just now.

Looking at this scene, a hint of surprise appeared in Orochimaru's eyes, followed by greed.

Of course, he hid it very well, and that greed was quickly covered up by him.

Orochimaru pursues power and immortality at the same time. His ambition is neither big nor small. He hopes to master all the ninjutsu in the world and glimpse the truth. It is based on this ambition that he wants to obtain immortality, because he believes that human life is short and it is impossible to acquire so much knowledge. At the same time, life is too fragile and it is very likely to die due to various accidents, thus failing to achieve his ambition.

He longed for unknown power, and now Bane showed it.

It's not just the power of darkness, but also the control over the soul.

But to be honest, he has no interest in Bane's body, even though he is transforming himself, taking over other people's bodies, and wanting to obtain bloodline limits and get the Uchiha clan's Sharingan or something.

But in the end, Orochimaru still defines himself in the category of "human".

He had been to the Ryuchi Cave more than once or twice. He had seen the White Snake Immortal and knew that the White Snake Immortal had lived for thousands of years. He had also seen those snake princesses, but Orochimaru had never thought of taking over the bodies of these snakes. Even though he tried his best to transform himself to be like a snake, such a thought never occurred to him once.

He also knew that Jiraiya inherited the bodies of the big toads in Myoboku Mountain, and there were many old monsters who had lived for who knows how many years, but he never considered going to Myoboku Mountain to seize the bodies of the toads.

Perhaps behind Orochimaru's ambition lies his own persistence as a human being.

At this moment, he regarded Bane as a dragon. Even in his half-understanding, he thought that Bane might have evolved from a giant snake like the White Snake Immortal into the current Azure Dragon.

In a nutshell, he didn't regard Bane as a human being. Therefore, although he coveted Bane's power, he never considered taking over Bane's body.

In fact, coveting power is not something difficult to understand. Bane also pursues power. This is a very normal desire and there is nothing wrong with it.

He was not afraid that Orochimaru would be greedy for the power he displayed. On the contrary, if Orochimaru did not have such desire, it would be a bit difficult to deal with him. After all, it would be difficult to make promises.

Only when there is demand can there be motivation.

Although he was very yearning and greedy for the dark power and the power of the Spirit Master, Orochimaru still restrained his greed and praised: "What a surprising and strange power. Although I have not been able to master the immortal arts and the power of nature, I can still tell that it was the natural power of darkness just now?"

"You can understand it this way." Bane didn't explain anything.

It was his original intention to show his power to Orochimaru, but there was no need to explain. It was more appropriate to keep it mysterious and powerful.

After a brief pause, Ben said, "Get another test paper. I'll eliminate this dark natural force and try again."

"To a certain extent, the nature of the chakra you just displayed is no longer simple chakra, but carries the concept of fairy technique," Orochimaru reminded, and then took out a test paper and handed it to Bane.

This time, Bane did not release the chakra indiscriminately, but instead mobilized the dark elements in his body, restrained his own power, and then released the chakra again.

This time, the test paper was much more normal. It became moist at first, then immediately became wrinkled, and soon was cut in half. It then broke into pieces and quickly burned into ashes as it fell.

Orochimaru's expression was also very normal, without any surprise, and he said calmly: "It seems that your chakra attributes are complete in the basic five attributes. As for the yin and yang attributes, they cannot be measured in this way. We will know whether you can master the yin and yang related ninjutsu later."

Yin-Yang Escape sounds advanced, as if it is only used by people at the Six Paths Sage level, but in fact there are many common manifestations of it.

For example, the body-doubling technique of the Akimichi clan is actually a manifestation of Yang Dun.

The Nara clan's shadow-binding technique and the Yamanaka clan's secret mind techniques are actually also a manifestation of Yin Dun.

Usually some powerful sealing techniques are often mixed with the attributes of Yin and Yang, so many sealing techniques are difficult for ordinary people to master, because they have not developed their own Yin and Yang Chakra attributes.

"That's about it for the concentration and properties of chakra. If you want to master ninjutsu next, you need to have a basic understanding of it, such as hand seals, etc." Orochimaru quickly took out another sealing scroll for storage.

After unwrapping the scroll, he took out a number of books from it, all related to ninjutsu.

It contains simple ninjutsu books such as "Hand Seals", "Detailed Explanation of Basic Ninjutsu", "Three Body Techniques", and "Summoning Techniques".

"In the final analysis, hand seals are only a way to assist the circulation of chakra in the body to release ninjutsu. However, for certain ninjutsu that are used frequently and mastered, the body can use them almost instinctively, so the number of hand seals can be reduced or even used without hand seals." Orochimaru explained the basics again.

Although Bane had some understanding of these things, it was only superficial. It was very interesting to listen to Orochimaru's words and deeds here, so he showed great interest.
