There are only three secret realms where the complete immortal arts are passed down...
Let's not talk about those wild ninjas who were born accidentally in nature and can control natural energy. After all, that was just an accident, and such people are more controlled by natural energy than controlling natural energy.
The three generations of secret realms that have inherited immortal arts, although they are all immortal arts, their immortal arts are different.
Perhaps in countless years, the three secret realms have also been committed to the spread of immortal arts, but the difficulty of practicing this thing is too high, and the success rate is too low. If it is allowed to spread, the ninja world may be wiped out just by relying on this practice method.
Once upon a time, there was a group of ninjas who began to practice magic. Later, they died while practicing... Isn't this story interesting?
Therefore, perhaps only "people with destiny" can learn the magic.
In Hanyu's memory, what is relatively clear is how the toads of Myoboku Mountain taught fairy arts. The toads' teaching methods were barely scientific and reasonable, and they were very caring towards those practitioners who they liked.
Therefore, Hanyu naturally assumed that Katsuyu, which had a more docile personality, would be more gentle, more gradual, and less harmful when teaching the senjutsu.
Probably only someone like the White Snake Immortal could do such a bad thing as to trick the "trial takers". Isn't Sister Slug stronger than the four-legged toad and the legless white snake?
However, it turned out that Hanyu was wrong. It turned out that senjutsu was the most rough one.
It was clearly agreed that this time he would just feel the natural energy a little bit, but Hanyu suspected that the standard of "slightly" was a bit too high. It was possible that the entire giant slug in the Wet Bone Forest took a big sip of the natural energy and transmitted it all to Hanyu.
This is considered "slightly" for Katsuyu, but it seems to be a bit fatal to Hanyu.
Is "caressing each other" so stimulating? This is different from what Hanyu thought.
This is probably like some large beasts, which will stick out their tongue to lick you gently, and then the barbs on their tongue will lick you clean, including the skin and flesh - isn't it, even the bones are left clean and pale.
Is this the legendary tenderness? The tenderness of the sky and the earth, like the energy of nature enveloping me?
The only thing Hanyu could be sure of was that no matter how his senses had just been extended, in terms of actual time he was only in contact with that huge natural energy for a short moment, and then it was immediately removed by the slug - otherwise, Hanyu would not only have his senses affected, but even his body would have been destroyed.
Hanyu lay on the cold stone. Neither the humid environment nor the warm wind could relieve the cold feeling. Now his whole body was wet, and he couldn't tell which was the slug's mucus and which was caused by his own cold sweat.
"What do you mean?"
After he finally caught his breath and the sky in his vision stopped spinning in circles, Hanyu asked the slug.
"It was a first contact, and the result was very good. It was considered a success."
"Successful?"
Hanyu thought, can this be considered a success?
"Not dead, not crazy, that's a success."
Hanyu: "…"
When I think about it this way, it seems to be true.
Failure to anticipate the dangers of accurate contact with natural energy in advance, and thinking about it afterwards, haha, is that it?
"Katsuyu, get on the stretcher, jo, the ambulance will take me away."
It has nothing to do with weak legs, Hanyu is just too lazy to walk.
Next, Hanyu will have to re-evaluate the difficulty of learning this magic. Maybe he will have to follow Jiraiya's example and conservatively estimate that he will have to learn it for fifty years before doing anything else.
…
A few days later, Hanyu, who had recovered, returned to Konoha from the Wet Bone Forest. Then, at the underground base, he was told that Orochimaru was waiting for his return.
"Hanyu, I sense that you don't look very well. Let me give you a friendly reminder...it's best to stay away from the hot spring town and Jiraiya." After seeing Hanyu, Orochimaru looked him up and down for a few seconds and couldn't help but say this.
Since Hanyu now looks even paler than Orochimaru and seems very lethargic, even Orochimaru has begun to worry about his physical condition.
Although his concerns were entirely misplaced.
And from this sentence, it seems that although Orochimaru is not interested in certain things, it does not mean that he does not understand those things.
Hanyu simply waved his hands. He was too lazy to explain anything to Orochimaru. What was there to say after being hit by an energy cannon from nature?
"This is..."
Then, Hanyu turned his gaze to a small square "box" that Orochimaru was holding. Since the outside of the box was covered with a layer of black cloth, the situation inside could not be seen.
"Well, after many attempts, the task you assigned to me was finally successful. However, I only promised to complete this step of the work. I will not be responsible for the rest of the work."
As he said that, Orochimaru placed the small box on Hanyu's desk, then lifted the black cloth covering it... Oh, it turned out that this was not a box, but a 40-centimeter square fish tank.
The fish tank seems to be filled with black ink, so what's the point in covering it up?
However, when Hanyu took a closer look, he found that there was not ink in there, but densely packed, finger-sized creatures swimming continuously. This... is simply good news for people with trypophobia.
"Does this have anything to do with your mission?"
Hanyu thought to himself, is this guy kidding me? Did he go to some pond and dig out several nests of tadpoles?
"These are copies of Samehada. Even though they don't look like them, they are indeed... If there aren't enough, I can add more. They have incredible vitality, so no matter what you plan to do next, it's best to raise them separately, because these creatures have shown a tendency to devour each other at such a young age."
Orochimaru explained that he had no intention of deceiving Hanyu, but the larvae of Samehada looked like tadpoles, so there was nothing he could do about it.
Hanyu looked at it carefully again and found that it was indeed different from a tadpole. On its dark body, tiny triangular scales could be seen, and when it swam, these scales would occasionally open and stand up...
Now Hanyu believed what Orochimaru said, because these characteristics looked very similar to Samehada.
Such a large tank of "tadpoles" is enough for making soup, so there is no need to increase the quantity for the time being... In other words, Orochimaru has done his job very well.
"As expected of you," Hanyu straightened up, sighed, and continued, "You succeeded so quickly, but it's understandable. After all, what you have to do is much simpler than what I have to do ."
Orochimaru: "…"
Is this a compliment? Why does the last sentence sound so inhuman?
Orochimaru has been getting up early and working late these days, painstakingly cloning and hatching these little fish just like he was hatching his own snake eggs. How come it has become such a simple task for Hanyu?
How about I smash the fish tank and then you try it yourself?
Although Orochimaru's expression was also cold, he was still more emotional than his later self.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Hanyu said. He is studying the Wet Bone Forest Senjutsu, while Orochimaru is studying fish cloning. Although they are somewhat cross-field, in a sense the former is indeed more difficult than the latter.
But this should not be said in front of scientific researchers, as it would dampen their enthusiasm.
But...it doesn't matter what I said. As long as there are tool men in this world, there will be tool snakes. What's even more amazing is that some people are both tool men and tool snakes.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, I was just joking. You're a grown-up, can't you tell a joke from a joke?"
Hanyu quickly stopped Orochimaru to prevent him from dying with the tadpoles.
And his jokes are just as unfunny as ever.
