Chapter 8 White Rock and the Slug(2/3)
Although Shiraishi's tone is just a plain narrative, it makes it even more ironic.
"Is this the reason why you defected from the village?"
Tsunade took a deep breath.
Regarding Danzo's incident, it was indeed Konoha and her teacher who felt sorry for Shiraishi, so she had nothing to argue with.
This man is very dangerous, especially the shadow ninjutsu that blocked her attack just now. It is the same as the shadow jutsu of the Nara clan, but the intensity of the attack and restraint are even greater.
She also used powerful strength to break free.
If you encounter a normal ninja, you will probably be killed instantly.
As analyzed by the intelligence department, this kind of shadow technique is very dangerous, and you will be killed if you are not careful.
To fight against Shiraishi, you must be extremely attentive and cannot relax for a moment.
"How could it be? I just see that today's ninja world is a bit too boring, so I just want to find some fun for myself. So, I don't suggest that you stop me. Among all the Konoha ninjas today, I
The only person who doesn't want to fight is you."
After hearing what Shiraishi said, Tsunade frowned. Although she realized that Shiraishi had his own special purpose for leaving Konoha, she revealed very little in her mouth and could not tell what he wanted to do.
"But is it really okay for you to come to Shiggakure at this time? Konoha is already fighting Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Without you, the medical pressure will be great."
"It's best not to underestimate the ninjas in the village. You should know very well how good their medical skills are."
After all, part of Shiraishi's contribution to the cultivation of Konoha's new generation of medical ninjas is in it.
Konoha's current medical system can definitely be said to be unparalleled in the ninja world and has no rivals.
Rather than worrying about the situation in Konoha, Tsunade felt that Shiraishi's side also needed to be watched.
Originally, she planned to come here to bid farewell to the living dragons and leave the Marsh Bone Forest, but when she saw Shiraishi coming here, Tsunade suspected that Shiraishi had some evil intentions.
I am very concerned about the purpose of the contract between Shiraishi and the living dragon.
After all, there are many treasures and inheritances here that are not found in the ninja world.
"The purpose of your contract with the living dragon...isn't it for magic?"
Tsunade suddenly thought of something, her face changed slightly, and she looked at Shiraishi solemnly.
Since ancient times, most of the ninjas who have been looking for contracts with the three holy lands have come here for the magic of the holy lands.
Tsunade was very worried that Shiraishi also came here for the method of practicing senjutsu.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter. Living dragon, can you take me to visit the wet bone forest?"
Baishi did not answer directly, but raised his head and said something to the beast.
"Okay, please follow my clone to visit."
The living slug readily agreed, splitting from its huge body a slug about the same size as Shiraishi, and led the way for Shiraishi.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore, Tsunade-sensei."
Baishi left with the clone of the living dragon and visited Shigu Forest. Baishi was very curious about this holy land that has existed for thousands of years.
After Shiraishi left, Tsunade immediately asked Xiangli urgently: "Liuli, this guy made a contract with you, is he here for magic?"
"That's not the case, Tsunade-sama. Shiraishi-sama cannot come here for senjutsu."
"Why do you say that?"
"I can feel that Mr. Shiraishi already has Senjutsu Chakra in his body. He has already learned Senjutsu and the Senjutsu Chakra is quite stable. There is no need to learn my Senjutsu. Besides, my Senjutsu is not very suitable.
Ninja training, Tsunade-sama, you know this."
From the beginning, the living dragon felt that Shiraishi had chakra and natural energy in his body, and that they could be well integrated. It was obvious that Shiraishi's magic mode had stabilized, and there was no need to learn the magic of Shigulin.
If you come to learn the magic of Shigulin, it will not only be a waste of time, but there will also be many unpredictable and unknown risks in the process of practice.
For example, the whole body may swell and turn into a slug.
Although the contract had just been signed, Shiraishi gave it a different feeling from ordinary humans. It was cautious and self-aware, and knew what it needed and what it didn't.
The analysis of what is useful and useless to you is very clear.
"Already learned celestial magic? How is it possible? Where did he learn it? Miaomu Mountain or Ryūchi Cave?"
Tsunade asked in surprise.
"Shiraishi-sama's senjutsu mode is not inherited from Mt. Myoboku and Ryuji Cave. Humans who learn the celestial beast senjutsu will possess some of the characteristics of the psychic beast. The Shiraishi-sama that Tsunade-sama saw just now is already a
It’s in Immortal mode. It should be the Immortal mode that suits humans.”
Although it was the first time he saw it, the live snake believed that the direction he guessed was not wrong.
Moreover, it also heard the exchange between Shiraishi and Tsunade just now.
Tsunade's student, a defecting ninja who killed his former colleagues... It is not difficult to guess that Shiraishi is the Konoha defecting ninja that Tsunade mentioned, who killed the prophecy child.
"I'm really looking forward to it. Master Shiraishi's future, no matter when, human beings will be full of wonderful possibilities..."
For some reason, Tsunade felt that the lively voice became cheerful.
It's like seeing something interesting.
This happy mood was revealed when Tsunade saw a live dragon for the first time.
"But doesn't it matter? The Great Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku asked you to take care of the prophecy's child, right?"
Tsunade was a little confused.
"Tsunade-sama, the relationship between the three holy places is not as close and friendly as you think, and I hate all meaningless disputes and battles... The children of prophecy are just all living beings in the ninja world. The development of the times can only be achieved by one person alone.
This kind of helpless thing is irreversible. Human beings always repeat the same mistakes and arrogance, and I have seen it many times. In the end, we are all just existences called 'creatures', and there is no difference in essence."
Therefore, the Son of Prophecy may be a special existence in Miaomushan's eyes, but in its eyes, he is just an ordinary person among all living beings.
And the power of one person, no matter how experienced he is, cannot change the world.
This is not just random talk, but human history witnessed by a living creature who has lived for thousands of years.

Shigulin, on top of a mountain.
It is a clear hot spring, and Shiraishi feels the rich life energy in the hot spring.
"Master Shiraishi, this is the life spring I built in the past. Soaking in it is very effective in sensing natural energy and treating injuries. It can also expel many types of poisons."
Without waiting for Shiraishi to ask, the living dragon clone next to him took the initiative to explain to Shiraishi the function of the spring in front of him.
Shiraishi looked at the pool with no boundaries visible at a glance. This should be the largest hot spring Shiraishi had ever seen.
Even the country of hot springs, Yuno Kuni, cannot compare with the spring water of life here.
Shiraishi nodded without hesitation, and a shadow blade passed through. A deep bloody gash was cut on the back of Shiraishi's hand. Shiraishi put the deeply wounded palm into the warm spring water of life.
Sure enough, the wound healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This kind of recovery speed is faster than using medical ninjutsu to recover yourself.
"Master Shiraishi has learned the magic of immortality on his own, so the effect of this spring water on you is basically limited to healing."
The living beetle said this.
"Is the spring water drinkable?"
"The effect of drinking it is similar to that of soaking it, but it cannot be stored for a long time when taken out, because it is caused by my magic and it will soon lose its effect in the outside world."
The living beetle saw Bai Shi's thoughts and kindly reminded him.
"It's such a pity."
It's normal to think about it carefully. If the life spring water here could be taken out, Tsunade would have taken it out and given it to the Konoha ninjas.
In war, this is simply a healing tool that can greatly reduce the casualty rate.
However, being able to create such a large healing spring, Shiraishi now has a clearer idea of the slug's magical abilities, and it is no longer as vague as before.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, below are the pale white woods wrapped in thick fog.
Bare white trees emerge from the thick fog, and only the needle-like sharp tops of the trees can be seen.
"By the way, what kind of tree is that down there? I've never seen this kind of tree in the ninja world."
Shiraishi asked curiously, pointing to the trees below.
It was pale in color, and slugs, clones of living slugs, squirmed and climbed on it. The corrosive mucus secreted from their mouthparts did not leave the slightest sign of decay or melting on it.
"It was originally a common tree in the ninja world, but over the years, it has experienced the transformation of rich natural energy and my corrosive slime, and it has grown into a tree as tough as steel, absorbing natural energy and thriving."
The living beetle said this.
"Can I cut some down?"
"Master Shiraishi, please do whatever you want. These trees are of no use to me. I don't like this withered color either, but if I change my residence, it will only turn the rest of the place into this kind of environment."
The living beetle did not refuse. To it, these were useless external objects.
"You are really indifferent and don't care about anything. You kid, to be honest, why would a powerful being like you go out of your way to sign a contract with humans?"
