Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

As for training, it mainly depends on the village's financial resources. Currently, Amegakure is not particularly wealthy, so it is lacking in this area.

Training? That's easy. The Land of Rain, which was in constant chaos before, has no shortage of training.

Therefore, apart from the Akatsuki, the quality of the Rain Ninja has also improved significantly, now at least on par with the ninjas of the major ninja villages.

Now Loran isn't fighting alone anymore; he has plenty of resources at his disposal, with a large group of people handling all sorts of trivial matters for him. This allows him to focus on things that interest him. Aren't his subordinates there to share the burden with their boss?

Loran arrived at the Regent's Office, located at the highest point of Amegakure, where four Akatsuki ninjas were already waiting.

Among this group, the leader was a tall and slender man, dressed in the Akatsuki's signature black robe with red clouds. This man was named Ōtani Saizo, codenamed "White Tiger" in the Akatsuki. He was not only a core member of the Akatsuki but also a powerful Kage-level ninja, and he was in charge of commanding this mission.

Beside Otani Saizo stood a graceful female ninja. Her hair, a pale purple, cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Two exquisitely crafted katana were strapped to her back, their blades gleaming coldly in the sunlight, exuding a deadly aura. This female ninja was named Oborozuki, her codename in the Akatsuki organization being "Santai," a formidable ninja.

Standing opposite Oborozuki was a black-haired man named Kusarigama no Suke, who exuded a powerful aura of malevolence, as if he were a demon straight out of hell. He wore a black cloak that concealed his face in shadow, making it difficult to discern his true features. His weapon was a kusarigama, and his codename in the Akatsuki organization was "Kūjin".

Finally, there was a man with a baby face whose eyes were always squinted, giving him a lazy appearance. He had white hair, wielded a staff that reached his eyebrows, and his name was Hyakuchi Hyakume-ki. His codename in the Akatsuki organization was "Hokuto".

Loran glanced at them. He had already given them everything he needed to say, so there was nothing more to add.

He took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Otani Saizo.

"White Tiger, you are the overall commander of this mission, and you are responsible for distributing these chakra pills."

"Yes, Regent, rest assured, our operation will ensure that the Sand Village will never be able to recover," White Tiger assured him.

Loran nodded and waved for them to leave.

After the four people respectfully left the office, Loran dealt with some official business and then disappeared from the office using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Loran had no worries about this mission. These four were the fruits of his careful training, and each of them was a bloodline limit user.

Byakko's strength has firmly entered the ranks of Kage, and with the chakra pills and ninja tools he bestowed, the remaining three, Tai, Hokuto, and Sora, can also fight against Kage.

If four Kage-level ninjas can't even complete the mission of putting the Sand Ninja in their place, then they'd better come back with their heads.

Chapter 84 Naruto: Chakra Dan and Ordination

In a top-secret laboratory outside Amegakure, the corpse of a massive nine-headed Kui dragon was sealed in a huge preservation container, still radiating purplish-black energy.

The so-called demons, also known as Wangxiang and Fangliang, are spirits of mountains, rivers and forests.

Ancient books say it has the form of a Kui dragon but no substance, and is a shadowy image beyond the realm of the divine.

The physical form of the demons in the Land of Demons is indeed as described in ancient books, resembling a Kui dragon.

The so-called witch seal was no problem for Loran; in the current ninja world, there were very few techniques he couldn't break. So Loran took the opportunity to visit the Land of Demons and brought back the body and corpse of the demon, originally intending to use them as a power source for the White Zetsu's computing array, just like the Nine-Tails.

However, after studying the relationship between the demons and the witch, Loran temporarily put the power bank issue aside.

Strictly speaking, the existence of the demon is very similar to the Zero-Tails that Loran discovered at the Sky Ninja's place; both are creations of a large amount of negative emotional energy.

That's right, even that dog breed called Shennong was taken down by Loran, and Zero-Tails and the Sky Ninja Base were both taken down by Loran.

Loran has also occupied the aerial fortress of the Sky Ninjas and used it as his aerial base. Loran is now researching the Wraith here.

After examining the history of the Land of Demons and studying the so-called power of the priestess, Loran was even more certain that the relationship between the demons and the priestess was somewhat similar to that between the Evil Sword Immortal and the Elder of Mount Shu.

Throughout history, priestesses have severed a portion of their souls and used secret techniques to create demons. Perhaps these priestesses sought greater power to defend against external enemies, but they may also have been experimental subjects in pursuit of immortality, like the Beast God in the novel "Zhu Xian."

Loran was also somewhat unsure about its origins, but he was certain that the formation of the demon was definitely inspired by the tailed beasts.

However, the priestess did not possess the powerful Yin-Yang Release technique of the Sage of Six Paths, and therefore could not directly mold the spirits into pure energy life forms.

The witch's soul shaped the spirit's soul, but the physical body was created using some ancient biological techniques. Loran discovered many animal genes within its body, suggesting it was a chimera.

Moreover, the reason why the opponent has such a powerful physical body is actually the same as the toad of Mount Myōboku and the giant snake of Ryūchi Cave, which is due to the absorption of a large amount of natural energy.

While in the Land of Demons, Loran also took in a ninja who was acting suspiciously in the priestess's library. This ninja was none other than Yomi, a subordinate of the demon who wanted to establish a so-called thousand-year kingdom. Yomi had developed a dark medical ninjutsu, which was actually a study of the demon's work.

This dark medical ninjutsu is very similar in principle to Orochimaru's cursed seal. The so-called dark chakra or cursed seal chakra is an application of natural energy and belongs to a variant of sage art. This is why ninjas who ingest dark chakra and ninjas who use the cursed seal are so similar in appearance.

Natural energy has always been a focus of Loran's research.

Many powerful ninjas have some understanding of natural energy, but because the natural energy in the ninja world is too dangerous and violent, the entry threshold for Sage Mode is very high.

Therefore, some clever people who lack the necessary conditions for training would come up with all sorts of alternative solutions. Huang Quan's dark medical ninjutsu is one such solution, and Orochimaru's cursed seal is another.

However, these are actually all weakened forms of true natural energy. There is one race that recognized the existence of natural energy before anyone else in the ninja world: the Otsutsuki clan. As an interstellar civilization, they possess highly advanced and sophisticated technology in energy utilization.

Therefore, Loran had to feel his way across the river.

How does the Otsutsuki clan process and manipulate external energy?

There are two main methods: one is the Chakra Fruit, and the other is the Chakra Pill.

In reality, Loran believed that the Chakra Fruit was the ultimate version of the Chakra Pill. However, while the Otsutsuki could easily refine ordinary Chakra Pills, the Chakra Fruit required the God Tree, a super furnace.

With a ready-made case study available, Loran began to shift his research focus to Chakradan.

Loran's idea was correct; the forging of the Chakra Dan was inseparable from the Rinnegan and the powerful Yin-Yang Release.

Furthermore, Loran possesses the physical body of the Divine Tree—the Gedo Mazo. The process by which the Gedo Mazo absorbs natural energy to synthesize chakra is a naturally existing alchemy technique or one that has been inscribed in the genes of the Divine Tree by certain beings.

In order to study the Gedo Mazo, Loran borrowed a lot of the Byakugan's power; in terms of insight, the Byakugan is still stronger.

Furthermore, while researching Chakra Dan, Loran discovered an astonishing phenomenon: that bloodline limits and even bloodline eliminations could be artificially synthesized using techniques similar to those used in alchemy.

That makes sense. Bloodline Limits are obtained by consuming the Chakra Fruit, a planet-level ultimate elixir, right? So, following the method of alchemy from the Divine Tree, it's natural to be able to synthesize Bloodline Limits and even Bloodline Limits.

The group of bloodline limits under Loran's command were all achieved through the method of consuming pills.

If it were an ordinary transmigrator, the research might have ended there. But Loran is a cheat code among transmigrators. For Loran, who possesses the wisdom of various worlds, chakra pills are merely external alchemy techniques. With external alchemy, one can naturally evolve towards internal alchemy, especially since many of Loran's reincarnations are in a world where alchemy is prevalent, like Under One Person.

Loran then drew upon Chakra Dan technology, internal alchemy techniques from other worlds, and the research findings on natural energy in the ninja world to develop a method that allowed him to autonomously absorb external natural energy to strengthen himself.

The core of this method is the "register," which is inspired by Orochimaru's cursed seal, through which Orochimaru absorbs and transforms natural energy. Loran referenced the cursed seal and improved upon it, developing the "register conferment" ritual.

By planting the "talisman" device in the dantian, the "talisman" helps absorb natural energy and assists in the transformation of natural energy in the human body. Relying on this method, one can safely and stably utilize natural energy and break through one's own chakra limit.

The current "ordination" system is still in its infancy, while the Chakra Dan system is more mature.

All members of Xiao's organization have been successfully ordained, but there are differences in the level of ordination.

The "Jade Register of the Temple of Heaven" records that the Zhengyi Dharma Register has five levels, from the initial "Taishang Sanwu Dugong Scripture Register" to the "Shangqing Dadong Scripture Register" representing the Celestial Master, corresponding to nine ranks, rising step by step.

Loran didn't use fancy or complicated names; he simply started with the lowest-grade, first-rank talismans and progressed step by step. The higher the grade of the talisman, the more efficient and faster it was at converting natural energy. The specific grade was determined by an assessment set by Loran.

The "Lü" is still being iterated and improved. Loran believes that the direction of improvement for the "Lü" lies in the Wangliang. The Wangliang itself is a super-large biological natural energy processor created by the priestesses, and then these priestesses installed a part of their souls as software, which is somewhat like a Zanpakuto.

After so many years, their software has clearly gone completely astray, full of bugs, and has even begun to rebel against the administrators, so the shrine maidens had to physically shut it down.

However, because the hardware was too powerful, the priestess couldn't overcome it and had to forcibly use a backdoor at the cost of her life to separate the software and hardware.

But the witches did provide Loran with a viable technological path; Loran intended to imitate their hardware, not their software.

Otherwise, it would be like in the world of Bleach, where your Zanpakuto keeps acting up or playing the riddle-maker, which would be really hard to handle.

Chapter 85 Naruto: Rain Ninja vs. Sand Ninja

The Land of Wind, Mount Qunyu, is located on the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain. It is named for its abundant jade mines, and an important pipeline of the water conveyance project passes through here.

In the darkness, a group of Sand Ninja disguised as Rock Ninja found their way to the vicinity of the water pipe, preparing to use ninjutsu to destroy the huge, hill-like water pipe.

Just as the leader of the Sand Ninja was about to detonate the explosive tag attached to the pipe, something surprising happened.

Instead of the pipes exploding as they had hoped, several Sand Ninja were suddenly blown to pieces!

"Gotcha, you little rats from the Sand Village!" Accompanied by this pleasant female voice, a powerful killing intent swept in from all directions, but strangely, the owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen.

The Sand Ninja leader stared wide-eyed as he looked around, but could not see any trace of the enemy.

This bizarre scene filled him with suspicion and fear. "Is this the Iwagakure camouflage technique, or the Konoha's bloodline limit: Transparent Release?"

However, before he could even figure it out, several more Sand Ninja were instantly struck on the neck by an unseen being, blood splattering everywhere. In the blink of an eye, only the captain remained in the Sand Ninja team.

The night was as dark as ink, seemingly concealing countless secrets and dangers. The Sand Ninja Captain was like a helpless lamb, but he was, after all, an experienced Sand Ninja. In this life-or-death situation, he suppressed his fear, quickly adjusted his state, and displayed the high qualities expected of a Sand Ninja.

Since we can't pinpoint the enemy's exact location, let's use a wide-area attack to cover the entire area!

The Sand Ninja Captain's hands moved with lightning speed, forming hand seals.

"Wind Release: Four Directions Net!"

As he finished speaking, a powerful burst of wind-style chakra erupted from his body.

This is an upgraded version of Wind Release: Net. Countless wind blades spread out in all directions like a giant net, cutting trees in half and carving deep trenches into the ground wherever they passed.

This massive net of wind blades is powerful and unstoppable, as if it were about to capture the assassins hiding in the darkness.

"Why didn't I hear any screams? Did the area-of-effect attack miss?"

The Sand Ninja captain was filled with suspicion and looked around, trying to find any trace of the enemy. However, the surroundings were completely silent, with no signs of anything unusual.

Just as doubt began to creep into his mind, a faint sound suddenly came from his right. The sound was extremely faint, but it seemed unusually abrupt in the deathly silence.

"It's on the right!" The Sand Ninja Captain's heart tightened. His reaction speed was extremely fast, like lightning, and he swiftly thrust the kunai in his hand to the right. The kunai drew a cold light in the air, flying straight towards the source of the sound.

However, a cold voice rang in his ear: "Wrong, it's the left."

The Sand Ninja captain's face turned deathly pale instantly; he realized he had made a fatal mistake. Before he could react, a sharp pain shot through his back.

He looked down and saw that a sharp dagger had pierced his heart, and blood was gushing out of the wound like a fountain.

He turned his head with difficulty and saw a slender female ninja standing to his left rear. Her figure appeared there out of thin air, like a ghost.

The female ninja gripped two deadly katanas tightly in her hands, the blades still stained with the blood of the Sand Ninja Captain, making them look particularly ferocious.

This female ninja was none other than Akatsuki no Oborozuki. She possessed the Transparent Release Kekkei Genkai and was an extremely skilled assassination-style ninja. Her appearance was like a gentle breeze, silent and stealthy, yet utterly deadly.

Beneath the vast, boundless Gobi Desert outside Sunagakure, a figure clad in the Akatsuki's iconic red cloud robe stood silently.

He was Baihu, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's as he looked out at the distant horizon, his expression indifferent, as if this desolate desert was nothing more than an ordinary place to him.

Just then, the White Tiger suddenly spoke, his voice echoing in the silent desert, but not directed at the empty space before him, but at some unseen being.

"San Tai, you're the slowest one again in this operation. Are you deliberately toying with the enemy again?" His tone was calm, but it revealed an undeniable authority.

However, just as Baihu finished speaking, as if suddenly transported from another dimension, a figure abruptly appeared on a distant sand dune.

That was Oborozuki. Her appearance came without any warning, like a phantom in the desert.

Longyue's smile had a unique allure, as if it could make people lose themselves in it instantly.

But Baihu ignored her charming smile. His gaze remained cold and indifferent as he looked at Longyue, as if her appearance could not cause him the slightest ripple.

"You'll be past your time limit in ten minutes. You should be glad you still have a shred of time consciousness. If you mess anything up from here on out, I'll personally skin you alive."

Longyue put away her smile. This time, the mission commander wasn't Zhuque, who was her closest friend. It seemed she would have to rein in her playful nature from now on.

"Get back to the planned route immediately. According to the plan, we're going to teach the Sand Village a painful lesson." Byakko's voice was cold and ruthless, as if devoid of any warmth.

After saying this, he vanished without a trace in the wind like a ghost.

Longyue gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat displeased, but dared not disobey orders. She took a deep breath and finally decided to use her stealth technique, quietly disappearing into the sand and dust, heading towards the planned route.

Luo Sha sat in his office, gazing at the bright moonlight over the desert, and suddenly felt uneasy.

He didn't think it was the Sand Village team's fault. Several Jonin leading a team of elite Chunin, on their own land, what problems could possibly arise? It couldn't be that an enemy country had attacked, could it?

It must be about Shukaku. Damn Gaara, why can't he be as stable as Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure?

Rasa didn't think his idea was outrageous at all. He actually thought that his youngest son, who was only a few years old, could subdue the malice that Shukaku had accumulated over many years, even with the Sand Ninja's sealing techniques being so poor.

Due to the major flaws in the Sand Village's sealing techniques, Jinchuriki are unable to effectively control the Tailed Beasts. Once asleep, Jinchuriki cannot suppress Shukaku. As a result, Gaara, who was only a few years old, could not even get a normal sleep. And yet, he had to face the cold face and malice of his stupid father every day.

Doesn't he even consider Killer Bee's circumstances? He wasn't born with a Tailed Beast sealed inside him, was he? Killer Bee was already a genin and had been on the battlefield when he became a jinchūriki.

Furthermore, the Cloud Ninja's sealing technique "Iron Armor Sealing" is more robust than the Sand Ninja's sealing techniques, so Killer Bee's sleep and rest are not affected. Moreover, the Cloud Ninja has the Cloud Thunder Gorge, which is specifically for training the Eight-Tails, and the Turtle Island Waterfall, which is specifically used to dispel inner demons. In terms of hard conditions, the Cloud Ninja completely surpasses the Sand Ninja.

The Cloud Ninja also valued Killer Bee's spiritual world, and the Third Raikage even sent his own son, the future Fourth Raikage, to help. The Fourth Raikage truly treated Killer Bee like a brother, exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

Winning people's hearts with sincerity is far superior to the Will of Fire that Konoha keeps talking about.

Poor Gaara has nothing but a stupid old man who's always provoking him.

Just when Gaara was about to develop a healthy personality, his uncle Yashamaru, who finally showed concern for him, was sent by that idiot Rasa to his death to conduct some kind of Jinchuriki stability test, completely destroying the last bit of kindness in his son's heart.

Luo Sha's actions were very much like those of the Japanese devils back then. They had nothing but wanted everything, their ambitions were sky-high but their lives were as fragile as paper, and their bones were full of numbness and extreme, crazy ambition.

If Sunagakure really needs a stable Jinchūriki, why would Rasa send a newborn baby to fill the role?

As the Kazekage, why don't you go yourself? It's not like the Five Great Ninja Villages don't have Jinchuriki to be Kage. The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure is a good example.

The Fourth Mizukage could subdue the Three-Tails, so why couldn't the Fourth Kazekage subdue the even weaker One-Tails? Rasa doesn't realize how ridiculous his logic is that he expects a child of a few years old to do something that even a Kage himself can't.
