Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 903 Research and Dilemma

In a flash, more than two hours, nearly three hours, had passed.

It was mid-morning.

Inside the wooden house.

Qingming was hit in the face by a beam of sunlight.

His eyelids moved slightly, trembled a few times, and finally opened them in a daze.

who am I?
where am I?
What am I going to do?
Suddenly, three philosophical questions emerged in Qingming's mind.

Then he regained consciousness.

Sitting up, Qingming glanced at the time and murmured, "Is it already ten o'clock?"

Kakakka~
He twisted his neck, then stretched hard and let out a long breath.

"Whoo~~~"

Qing Ming followed the mysterious connection and sensed the shadow clone that stayed in the village, but found nothing unusual.

Then, he said to himself: "It seems that this matter is over for the time being. I can finally practice well!"

After saying that, he jumped off the bed, quickly washed up, swallowed a few enhanced ration pills, and after filling his stomach, he came to the huge rock in the center of the island.

Without rushing to create a shadow clone to practice, Qingming first took out the sealing scroll that contained Danzo's Impure World Form from the ninja tool bag.

When his palm touched the seal and his mental power probed into it, Qingming saw Danzo who was tied up.

At the same time, Danzo also saw him.

He immediately threatened: "Little boy, I am the village's advisory elder. Do you know the consequences of doing this? Do you know what this will do to the Uchiha clan?"

Qingming didn't want to listen to the other party's chatter, so without waiting for him to finish speaking, he mobilized the power of "Seal All Things" to seal his ability to speak.

No, not only the ability to speak, but even the ability to struggle was sealed by him.

Danzo now was like a vegetable, quietly suspended in the air by eight chakra chains, allowing him to be studied.

Qing Ming studied his body and his soul.

In order to study something more essential, he even risked tearing off the 'outer coat' made by 'Immortal Reincarnation' on the other party's body.

Then, he used the 'Spiritualization Technique' to touch his soul through soul to soul method.

It was this attempt that made him see something different.

Unlike the free souls of ordinary people, Danzo's soul has two chains.

Well.
It’s not quite accurate to call it a chain, it should be two marks.

One of them was like a huge net, tightly binding the surface of his soul, making it impossible for him to break free.

If some means are used to control these large nets, the actions of the souls in the nets can be indirectly controlled.

After some research, Qing Ming determined that this was the mark formed by the "Immortal Reincarnation".

This is also consistent with Orochimaru's ability to control the movements of his Impure World Body through talismans.

Given the strength of this net, Qing Ming can be basically certain that most methods will not be able to save the soul inside.

In other words, once one is made into an Impure World Body, it is almost impossible to break free from control by relying on one's own abilities.

That sounds cruel, doesn't it?
However, this was nothing compared to another mark on his soul.

If the 'Immortal Reincarnation' entangles the soul and the mark remains on the surface of the soul, then the other mark penetrates into the deepest part of the soul.

It is like a nail, firmly nailed deep in the soul. Pulling it out rashly will only result in the collapse of the soul.

Qingming has two speculations about this mark. One is that it was forcibly imposed by Jingtu in order to control the soul of the ninja after death.

If this is true, then the purpose of the Six Paths Sage is quite scary. He is clearly using this method to harvest and enslave the entire world.

However, considering that his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki harvested the whole world through the sacred tree and created countless White Zetsu, this seems normal.

As for the other guess, it is the result of the operation of the natural laws in the ninja world.

It's like a rule that the soul of every ninja who dies will be automatically marked like this.

It is not difficult to verify this. Just observe the death of a few ninjas with your own eyes and see the whole process of the formation of those marks, and you can probably make a judgment.

However, Qing Ming would not do this kind of test which obviously involves the Six Paths Sage before his strength has reached a certain level.

Therefore, what he needs to consider now is just how to use Danzo. First of all, of course, he has to perfect the "Heart Sealing Soul Contract Instant Body Seal" that he had thought of before.

Before, he only had an idea about it.

And now, through observing Danzo's soul, he has already had a preliminary idea of ​​how to achieve the effect of "locking the soul".

However, to complete this idea, he needs to have a deeper understanding of the soul itself.

And this requires him to improve his proficiency in the 'Spiritualization Technique'.

That's what he's doing too.

So, just wait.

Secondly, it is to use the characteristics of the infinite chakra of the Impure World Body to extract the opponent's chakra to achieve the purpose of open source.

However, Qingming still has some doubts about this, that is, whether extracting too much chakra will attract the attention of the Six Paths Sage?
If his previous speculation about the origin of the second mark in Danzo's soul was correct as the first one, that it was actively imposed by the Pure Land dominated by the Six Paths Sage, then his large-scale theft of chakra would inevitably attract the attention of the Six Paths Sage.

By then, he might be in big trouble.

If it is the second one, that is not safe either, because from what he observed, for an Impure World Body like Danzo, the source of his chakra is the Pure Land.

The Six Paths Sage is in the Pure Land.

Therefore, regardless of whether the mark in his soul was imposed by Pure Land or not, as long as he extracted chakra on a large scale, he might be discovered by the Sage of Six Paths.

By then, it will still be troublesome.

However, it is impossible for him to give up this 'chakra battery', no, 'chakra nuclear battery'.

Not to mention that he himself lacks chakra. With the Pure Land as a supplement, his growth rate will be greatly increased. But Orochimaru will not allow him to give up this option.

Why do you say that?
It's simple, the connection between Danzo and Orochimaru has not been broken.

That's right, he had previously thought that his 'Senro Wanxiang Fengjin' could cut off the connection between Danzo and Orochimaru, the caster.

As it turned out, he was overly optimistic.

Through his observation and research just now, he found that the binding force of "Immortal Reincarnation" on the summoned souls was far beyond his imagination.

Now, Orochimaru should still be able to influence Danzo.

It's just that, because of the blockade of 'Seal All Things', it's not that effective.

But Qingming can be sure that there will be no problem in canceling the ninjutsu.

And once the other party does this, his 'Senluo Wanxiang Seal' will not have the ability to restrict the soul.

At that time, under the guidance of the second mark, Danzo's soul is likely to return directly to the Pure Land.

By then, not only would he be unable to obtain additional chakra through him, but his own information might also be leaked.

If that's the case, it would be a problem.

As for why Orochimaru hasn't lifted his ninjutsu yet, Qingming's understanding is that the other party wants to leave a nail in him in this way.

If he releases Danzo one day, the other party will most likely follow this connection, find this place, and then find him.

Moreover, by leaving Danzo here, we can continue to collect information about him.

This way you can kill two birds with one stone, why not do it!

Therefore, he must master the means to control souls before Orochimaru cancels his ninjutsu.

Only in this way can he ensure that his intelligence will not be leaked.

To achieve this goal, the quickest way he could think of was to perfect the 'Heart Sealing Soul Locking Contract Instant Body Seal'.

And this requires him to improve his proficiency in the 'Spiritualization Technique'.

Obviously, in this case, a mere 286000 chakra input per day is not enough.

Qingming didn't want to share the chakra of other skills, so the best way was to extract Danzo's chakra.

But this might attract the attention of the Six Paths Sage.

So, things are back to the starting point.

Qingming was also caught in a dilemma.
