Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

The snakes that tried to stop him along the way naturally received the same treatment as the toads on Mount Myoboku before, and turned into vivid ice sculptures... It was fair, and both the Frog Love Association and the Snake Love Association had nothing to say.

The sound of shoes stepping on the ice kept echoing in the cave. When the slow footsteps stopped, the White Snake Immortal took a deep breath, and the surface of the tobacco in the pipe in his mouth turned red in an instant.

Then it exhaled a lot of smoke from its nostrils and the corner of its mouth, and its narrow and dangerous snake eyes stared at Yu Zhen who came in front of it.

"White Snake Immortal, it's not easy to meet you once."

The size of the White Snake Immortal is still very shocking, but Yu Zhen had just seen the giant slug in the Wet Bone Forest. In comparison, the White Snake Immortal can only be described as slender, slim and petite.

"You reek of toads and slugs... Are you constantly visiting secret places like ours?"

There is no need for the White Snake Immortal to explain his previous avoidance behavior. An "immortal" like him acts as he pleases.

"Hey, you're willing to communicate. I thought it would be more complicated, like a fight before the conversation."

"That's not necessary. I'm an old man and haven't done anything myself in years."

"Why? Since he's an immortal, his strength and combat power must be extraordinary."

Yu Zhen felt the natural energy of the White Snake Immortal and believed that it had a certain fighting power... The big slug and the White Snake Immortal could be pulled out to fight, but the big Toad Immortal was really too old to move.

The White Snake Immortal thought to himself that this boy was being a bit rude. Did he force me to say it?

"Well, because I can't beat you."

Because he can't win, he doesn't fight. He is very wise and self-aware. He is worthy of being an immortal. He is cowardly and openly.

Besides, what reason is there for the two sides to go to war? There is absolutely none.

"As expected of a sage, your vision is very sharp... You have come into contact with Uchiha Sasuke and Orochimaru from the future, right, sage?"

Uchiha Sasuke can use the magic of Ryuchi Cave, so he must have received guidance from the White Snake Sage. As for Orochimaru, he has not been idle over the years and has done a lot of small things in secret. In theory, he should have found the White Snake Sage.

"Yes, these two people came from the future to this era, and they are both related to you... Sasuke studied senjutsu with me, and Orochimaru only communicated with me. I feel a little sorry for the former's disappearance. As for the latter, at least in terms of personality, Orochimaru is as cunning as a snake."

Hmm, this is a bit of "loving the new and getting bored with the old". Compared to Orochimaru, the White Snake Sage seems to like Uchiha Sasuke more. This is selective blindness. Hasn't he seen that Sasuke has killed many snakes while playing with them?

"Sasuke's situation is a bit complicated. I can't confirm his condition. I only have some vague guesses. As for Orochimaru... Orochimaru doesn't belong to this era. I plan to send him back to the era where he should exist."

"Sending people back to the future, is it possible to do such a thing?"

The White Snake Immortal raised his head slightly to show that he looked surprised.

Yu Zhen now possesses the Seven-Minded Sharingan, so even if he really sends Orochimaru to the future, he can do it. However, he feels that this method is not safe, as the Sharingan is prone to operating errors. In comparison, the old popsicle's traditional method of traveling through time and sending people to the future is more accurate.

The traditional way of traveling through time, apart from looking rustic, is actually very advanced in every way.

Therefore, Yu Zhen just waved his hand without giving a specific answer to the question.

His main purpose in coming to Ryuchi Cave was to deal with Orochimaru, who had the potential to disrupt the timeline. No matter what, this was a problem caused by Shichimai's Sharingan. After Yuzhen solved it, he was considered to have done something thoroughly and responsibly.

In addition, Yu Zhen also wanted to take the opportunity to chat with the White Snake Immortal... The Big Toad Immortal fell asleep too quickly last time, and Yu Zhen didn't have time to speak. What's more important is that the Big Toad Immortal didn't look very energetic, and Yu Zhen was afraid that he would talk the other party to death while chatting.

The White Snake Immortal is different. He looks very energetic. Among the three secret realms, only this immortal made Yu Zhen fall into a vast ocean of secondhand smoke.

"White Snake Immortal, it's generally accepted that wisdom grows with age. In a sense, someone like you could be called a sage. So, I have a question for you... For someone like you, with such a long life, are you moving forward at this moment based on willpower, or the inertia of your first half of life?"

This question is actually not easy to answer. The White Snake Immortal lives a very free and easy life. If you think about it carefully, only four words can describe its current state of life... free and easy.

If someone like Yu Zhen hadn't insisted on coming before it, it would have been able to do as it pleased.

After a moment of thought, the White Snake Immortal said:

"Is it necessary to distinguish these two things so clearly? The longer your life and the more insightful your vision, the easier it is to enter a state of detachment. The purer your spirit, the more ethereal it becomes. But etherealness can easily lead to confusion... Previous will determines future inertia. The two are the same thing, unless the will you held onto was wrong."

Yu Zhen nodded. The White Snake Immortal said it very well. The only problem was that it was the same as if he hadn’t said anything.

"Indeed, there is at least one point I agree with: if a person is too detached, then he is no longer a human being."

The White Snake Immortal took another puff of his cigarette, looked at Yu Zhen, and asked:

"I also have a question for you. If the world is about to be destroyed, what does it mean to you?"

"Hey, that's a good question..."

Yu Zhen fell into deep thought.

Well, some questions cannot be accurately answered from a third party, and Yuzhen must "meditate and gain enlightenment" on his own.

"Forget it. Anything that is too idealistic is false. Ordinary people and ordinary snakes can't grasp it."

Yu Zhen thought about it, but he still couldn't figure anything out, so he decided to get down to business first.

"White Snake Immortal, find a suitable place and a suitable snake to reverse summon Orochimaru... He's been running wild outside and needs to be disciplined."

The White Snake Immortal was speechless. You're moving one foot up to the sky and the other down to the ground. Just now you were pondering life, and now you're messing with other people's lives...

But what can the White Snake Immortal do? Can it say no? It can’t.

After finding a relatively empty cave and exporting a small purple snake, the White Snake Immortal no longer cared about the situation here... Yu Zhen wanted to send police to arrest Orochimaru? Then let him arrest him.

Yu Zhen didn't rush to start working. He first set up some spells around the dungeon. On the one hand, he was afraid that Orochimaru would run away, and on the other hand... well, soil samples still had to be collected.

After making the arrangements, Yuzhen used the connection between the snake and Orochimaru as an anchor to perform the reverse summoning technique.

After completing its mission, the snake fled at high speed as if it had four legs.

A cloud of smoke rose, and Orochimaru's figure suddenly appeared in the open space. There was a slightly surprised expression on his face, and in his right hand he was holding a test tube filled with some light purple liquid.

"It's Master Yuzhen... It's been a long time since we last met, Master Yuzhen."

Orochimaru looked around and immediately found himself in the Ryuchi Cave. Then his eyes stopped on Hashima. After realizing that he was summoned by Hashima, he was slightly surprised but not panicked.

Clearly, this is a sign of confidence.

"Long time no see? It's indeed been a long time."

Yuzhen felt that Orochimaru was right, but Orochimaru actually didn't know how long a long time was.

"Orochimaru, your leaving without saying goodbye was unpleasant. You promised to contribute your strength to Konoha. There will be a price to pay for breaking your promise."

Orochimaru ignored Yuzhen's words. He looked Yuzhen up and down, then said:

"Master Yuzhen, your sense of being a human seems to have faded a little."

This statement is very subjective and sounds a bit like an insult, but Yuzhen understood what Orochimaru was saying... All I can say is that as a human being, Orochimaru has a very sharp sense, but his perception ability is average.

There is an obvious subjective and objective difference here.

"This is called being detached from the world and independent of it. According to you, I seem to be turning into a monster or a ghost." Yu Zhen said unhappily.

Regardless of whether Orochimaru has undergone reincarnation or not, his talent in mastering natural energy and learning fairy arts seems ordinary.

It is obvious that in terms of fairy arts, Orochimaru at this time is not even as good as he was later in the original timeline.

If Orochimaru really had excellent talent, he wouldn't have to go through the roundabout way of studying curse seals to study natural energy... This is also normal, every master has his own strengths and weaknesses.

To study the curse seal, "Jūgo" is needed as an important sample. There is no Jūgo in this era, so Orochimaru is probably still in the initial stage of natural energy research.

Compared to the White Snake Sage's use of natural energy as naturally as breathing, Orochimaru is not worth mentioning. Since Orochimaru does not have such keen perception, his judgment of Yu Zhen's strength is a bit misplaced... Uh, this is not a good sign.

Orochimaru carefully put away the test tube in his hand, then shook his head at Yuzhen:

"Master Yuzhen seems a little unwilling to accept your age? You maintain your youthful appearance, and even your strength has increased. However... a ninja's achievements in strength sometimes have a sense of destiny."

"Master Yuzhen is certainly a talented ninja, but your talent is not the best."

Yu Zhen opened his mouth but did not refute because he found that... Hey, Orochimaru was right. Far from belittling him, these words were even praising him.

When it comes to talent, Yuzhen was just a cannon fodder ninja at the beginning.

"Orochimaru, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

The cannon fodder ninja Hazhen starts to make fun of the genius ninja Orochimaru.

"What I mean is that I am very grateful to have come to this era, and I am also grateful to Master Yuzhen for giving me the opportunity to get close to the First Hokage. In short, I respect Master Yuzhen very much."

"After all, I am indeed born in Firefly. Even though Firefly's philosophy seems a bit naive and outdated, only in Firefly can I grow up."

Naive? Outdated? Yuzhen shook his head. Orochimaru seemed to not understand what it meant to know right from wrong and defend right from wrong… Idealism can sometimes seem childish, but without it, the world would be so boring.

"That's not the case. You can grow up anywhere."

Yu Zhen did not dare to take credit for Orochimaru's growth.

"In short, Master Yuzhen, I know why you summoned me, but I have no intention of becoming your enemy... Or rather, for you now, it would be beneficial for both of us to live in peace."

Huh? Great job, absolutely great job.

Orochimaru treats Haneko as a weakling and is expressing his wishes from a condescending perspective. He also warns Haneko not to act rashly, as any rash action may bring disastrous consequences.

Yuzhen laughed. "Well, this trip wasn't in vain, was it? Orochimaru always comes up with something new."

The opening scene was great, and Yuzhen couldn't let Orochimaru's performance go to waste. After laughing, his face turned serious and he said in a standard bass voice:

"Orochimaru, your power is too great... I'm sorry, I can't let you move freely."

Good, good, Yu Zhen really didn't lose face. Although the lines were plagiarized, he delivered them very well, even perfect. This is what it's like to be a dramatic actor.

"Master Yuzhen, I haven't been idle these past few years... Well, let me show you the results of my research. You are the leader of Yinghuo, and you are the most suitable person to show off my achievements."

This statement is a bit hellish, implying the most orthodox meaning of "repaying filial piety and performing favors" in the ninja world... Repaying filial piety? Repaying!

After some ninjas have learned a lot, well, the first thing they do when they get ashore is to kill their old mentor with their sword!

"You know what, I'm actually a little curious about your research results."

Yu really wanted to see what new things Orochimaru had come up with over the years.

Then, something surprising happened to him.

Orochimaru just stood there, but apart from what was visible, his "presence" disappeared.

"This is……"

"Master Yuzhen, don't you recognize it? This should be your special skill..."

Chapter 211: Orochimaru, Your Power is Too Strong (Part 2)

Yu Zhen gave up on White Zetsu's moves both subjectively and objectively.

Objectively speaking, as early as a thousand years ago when he was playing with the sacred tree, Yu Zhen had already squeezed out all the White Zetsu attributes in his body, making "White Zetsu Knight" a thing of the past.

Subjectively, the tactics used will naturally change depending on the stage and level of strength. It's not that he has any "idol baggage," but given Yuzhen's current strength, it would be unreasonable for him to sneak up behind someone and steal their ass like he used to.

If you steal before upgrading and still steal after upgrading, then the upgrade would be in vain, right?

Yu Zhen hasn't been a White Zetsu hero for many years, so when Orochimaru used this kind of trick, he didn't react at first. Fortunately, Orochimaru kindly reminded him.

"This should just be the beginning... If it's convenient, could you explain the abilities you use?"

Yuzhen didn't bother to guess, but asked Orochimaru directly. The conversation was so frank, as if the two sides were not here to fight, but to have an academic exchange.

"It's not that difficult to explain. Although chakra is a compound of spiritual and physical energy, its fundamental foothold is still in the body...both physical and spiritual energy are born in every cell."

"Therefore, by simply controlling a person's cells, one can revive their spirit and strength... This is the ability to master divine skills with human power."

Yuzhen understood and said:

"Is it a technique that studies other people's cells and tissues and then steals their chakra?"

"No, Master Yuzhen, it's not just chakra. Every cell contains a vast amount of information, even the blueprints for the ninjutsu this person is using."

"I see. Not only can it steal chakra, it can even steal ninjutsu?"

"Yes, I call it the Impure World Soul Cultivation Technique. In a sense, this technique is an extension of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique... The Second Hokage was a great genius. Although his strength was only so-so, his research spirit was a model for ninjas."

Yuzhen nodded, indicating his approval and appreciation of Orochimaru's point of view, and he tentatively asked:

“Matter determines consciousness?”

Before this, he was still discussing idealism with the White Snake Sage, but look at Orochimaru, who is firmly walking on the path of materialism. Comparing the two, the superiority is obvious.

"Yes, everything material determines everything spiritual, and the body is the root of everything."

In theory, Orochimaru is right, but in reality there are some small problems. For example, there are chakra creatures in this world, but that is just a special case and is not a big deal.

As he spoke, Yuzhen saw that the bottom of Orochimaru's eyes turned red, and then the shape of a Mangekyō Sharingan appeared... It was the shape of Uchiha Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Well, he still loved Uchiha so much.

Yuzhen raised his hands and clapped sincerely. Orochimaru is worthy of being Orochimaru.

"Wonderful, really wonderful, it's truly a magical skill."

Now Orochimaru has the power of Uchiha Madara, and it goes without saying that he must also have the power of Senju Hashirama. When he realizes that he can combine these two powers...
