Chapter 245: Senju Tobirama's tortured journey in Dark Souls 3 (4K5)

The Dark Souls 3 that Uchiha Kei made for Senju Tobirama is naturally different from the original game, but a super-enhanced version.

Apart from other things, there will definitely be intelligent AI NPCs and various monsters, and the power of being a ninja will naturally be blocked. He must exist as a corresponding character in the game, such as being an ash undead with nothing. Otherwise, how can the naturally evil Senju Laodeng feel the love from him, Uchiha Hidetaka?
In fact, now Tobirama Senju is in great shock, because he finds that he has completely lost his power, or in other words, he no longer has chakra in his body. Although his amazing physique still exists, his super strength, ninjutsu and other chakra-driven methods are no longer effective.

The current Tobirama Senju has become a mortal who retains many years of combat experience and consciousness.

Of course, this so-called mortal is still far superior to normal people. It may be difficult for one person to beat a hundred, but it is still easy to do it as easily as Ip Man and say "I will beat ten".

Even if such a Senju Tobirama fought with Ip Man in the movie, he could easily kill Ip Man - after all, Ip Man rarely used weapons in fights, while Senju Tobirama could use all kinds of means.

Of course, if this Ip Man is the Extraordinary Ip Man from Bilibili, then Senju Tobirama would have been beaten to death in various ways.

This is the situation. Senju Tobirama thought he was under an illusion and tried every means to break the illusion. However, he tried every means. This ruthless man even tried to break the "illusion" by committing suicide.

However, the situation was a failure, and apart from making myself suffer, there was no other effect - as we all know, players of the Dark Souls series are prone to sudden deaths, so the resurrection mechanism in the game is also very simple and direct. After death, you will immediately return to the nearest resurrection point to be resurrected without any hesitation.

This is what happened to Tobirama Senju. After committing suicide, he was resurrected directly at the nearest resurrection point, which was next to the Fire Keeper, an important NPC in the game.

Then, the Fire Keeper used her gentle voice to comfort and encourage Senju Tobirama, allowing him to continue fighting.

This made Senju Tobirama very silent, and then when he found that he could not remove the illusion, or realized that this might not be an illusion, the man began to ask various questions to the Fire Keeper, wanting to know the situation here and various related information.

Although the Fire Keeper in the original game is an important NPC, she doesn't have many lines to talk to the player, and basically she stops talking after a while, and there is no intelligent question-and-answer function.

However, under the influence of intelligent AI algorithms, the Fire Keeper became intelligent and was able to communicate directly with the player, Tobirama Senju. Although she always spoke in a calm and light tone, and had her own etiquette and attitude, lacking some spirituality and sticking to her character setting to the end, she was able to have real communication.

Well, she is the kind of player on Earth who plays Dark Souls 3 and calls the Fire Keeper his wife, and will be so envious and jealous that he will cry and drool. She is the kind of player who can truly regard the Fire Keeper as a spiritual sustenance.

Of course, Senju Tobirama didn't know the difference, but he felt that this woman called Fire Keeper was too well-behaved, mysterious, and submissive. She was the type who would answer any question as long as the other party knew the information.

Moreover, the Fire Keeper will not resist if you do something to her, including but not limited to touching her or trying to attack her. There will be no resistance.

In the words of the Fire Keeper, the value of her existence is to serve Lord Ash. She is willing to do anything for Lord Ash. If her life and body are valuable to Lord Ash, Lord Ash can use them as much as he wants.

Obedience and loyalty, this is what the Fire Keeper demonstrates.

Of course, although Senju Tobirama is a cruel and cold-blooded guy, he is not a murderer, nor is he a person who kills innocent people. Even though he hates the Uchiha clan very much and is afraid that another Uchiha Madara will appear in the Uchiha clan, he only restricts the Uchiha clan instead of thinking of destroying the Uchiha clan like his extreme disciple Shimura Danzo.

Therefore, Senju Tobirama had no intention of killing a harmless woman like the Fire Keeper. He just made some tests, and after confirming that the other party was indeed dedicated to serving him, he gave up the idea of ​​harming the Fire Keeper.

Moreover, Tobirama Senju also knew that the place where he was now was a world called "Lordran", a chaotic world full of terror and despair, being eroded by darkness and abyss, and that had to rely on something called "flame" to prolong the life of the world.

His identity in this world is no longer a ninja, at least not just a ninja, but he has become an undead being called 'Ashes'.

He can't even be called a living person, and he has the qualifications to become the 'Fire King'. His mission is to find those Fire Kings who are unwilling to continue the 'Fire' and escape their mission, defeat them all and take back the 'Flame', seize their soul power, and eventually become the Fire King of this era, using himself as firewood to transform into a new fire, and continue the life and survival of the world.

In addition, although the Fire Keeper did not have clear information, Tobirama Senju had already realized that the various indescribable monsters he had seen in his previous illusions were probably the so-called Fire Kings, and his mission was also very simple, to defeat those Fire Kings, and then sacrifice himself to continue the life of this dark world - in terms of igniting herself, although the Fire Keeper did not say it explicitly, and her words were very respectful and full of artistic sense of speech, she did not hide anything. With Tobirama Senju's wisdom, he easily figured it all out.

Honestly, this was pure bullshit for Tobirama Senju - what did this dark world have to do with him? Why should he sacrifice himself for this world?
Therefore, Senju Tobirama doesn't care about the mission of Ashes at all.

After learning about the situation in this world, the man decided to take a look at the situation in this world first, and then find a way to leave here and return to the ninja world.

Of course, to date, Tobirama Senju still has not completely given up the speculation that this world might be an elaborate "illusion". After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan can also do this. It's just that all the methods that Tobirama Senju has carefully studied to break the Mangekyo illusion have become ineffective.

But the abilities of the Mangekyo are strange and bizarre. It is possible that the Sharingan possessed by the mysterious Uchiha kid is the Mangekyo, and it possesses the most powerful illusion that has never been seen before.

With this thought in mind, Senju Tobirama stared at the calm Fire Keeper and said in a cold tone: "I will not accept any mission from Embers and Cinder King. I am not from this world either. I will only look for a way to return to my original world."

Hearing this, the Fire Keeper bowed her head slightly and saluted like a lady: "Yes, Lord Ashes, you have your demands and wishes. As I said before, I will only serve you and will not interfere with your choices and actions."

"However, in this chaotic world, no one can escape his fate. Lord Ashes, I believe that you will come back here sooner or later, and I will also wait for your return in this sacrificial place of fire."

After hearing these words, Senju Tobirama looked deeply at the Fire Keeper, then turned and left the place called the 'Fire Shrine'.

After going out, what Senju Tobirama saw was a gray sky. It was a sky that was covered with dark clouds but it never rained. It was a sky that had light but the sun could not be seen.

The environment he saw was a foreign land that was completely different from the Ninja World. There were roads, and a magnificent city could be seen in the distance, but it was in ruins. Although there were plants within the visible range, they looked gloomy and withered.

There were no sounds of insects or birds, only the sound of the wind. The whole world seemed dead and lifeless.

Depressing and dark.

This is what Tobirama Senju felt.

However, such an environment could not hinder the determined Tobirama Senju. The Second-generation Hokage immediately strode forward and began to act.

Then, Senju Tobirama encountered the enemy.

It was something that Tobirama Senju had never seen before and had never appeared in the ninja world.

Corpses. A withered, gray, tattered corpse crawled up from the ground. The corpse, which had been dead for many days and had already rotted away, with bones visible and eyes empty, crawled up from the ground and let out a hoarse and low roar.

What was contained in that roar was hatred for the living, loathing for all things, and the absolute opposition between death and life.

There is no doubt that this is something that does not exist in the ninja world, at least Senju Tobirama has never seen it. Even if the Impure World Reincarnation technique he researched is a technique to play with the dead and summon their souls, it is not like what is before his eyes.

After all, although the people who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation could be seen as dead at a glance, they at least generally maintained the appearance of living people, unlike the corpses of the dead that have been resurrected today.

Yes, these.

Although in the original game, the first enemy the player encounters is just a resurrected corpse, but in this intelligently modified module game, the first enemies the player encounters are thirteen.

The thirteen resurrected corpses would not wait for Senju Tobirama there, but rushed directly towards him.

Among them, some use swords and shields, some use spears and axes, and some use bows and crossbows and magic wands. They also cooperate with each other and have tacit and ruthless collective combat capabilities. It can be said that they are directly an elite military squad.

Most importantly, these resurrected corpses are not as 'clumsy' as those in the original game. Instead, they can easily jump forward more than six meters. Ordinary people in the ninja world can be easily killed with just a single encounter, and their fighting patterns are random and varied.

There is no doubt that the difficulty is simply against the sky. At least on Earth, those high-level players who can complete the game naked will exclaim "this is too extreme" when they experience it.

Moreover, the players here can experience it directly as real people, rather than playing with a controller like in the game. In other words, the pain and fatigue experienced by the 'game character' are experienced by the players themselves.

Therefore, even someone as strong as Tobirama Senju was directly involved in a tough battle after encountering the first batch of "novice monsters".

Senju Tobirama, who was deprived of chakra and could only use the "Dark Soul 3" system to fight, felt very uncomfortable, because the cooperation of the zombies was really precise and powerful, and it was also a military formation style of fighting that Senju Tobirama had never seen before.

Ever since the rise of ninjas, the decline of the samurai system, and the absolute dominance of chakra power in the ninja world, things like military formations and tactics have never developed again, and the military formations and tactics that they once had have been directly lost.

Therefore, the military formation he encountered now was too new and unfamiliar to Senju Tobirama, so he was beaten by a group of miscellaneous soldiers and had to fight and retreat, and he learned to use the common "rolling" method to dodge enemy attacks without any instruction.

Moreover, this 'rolling' method does not have the invincibility frame in the original game. After all, many things in the spiritual network world need to be modified, and although things that exist in the original game can be retained, it is not certain whether they will be used.

Anyway, the Dark Soul 3 that Uchiha Kei arranged for Senju Tobirama was the highest difficulty, and the invincibility frame effect of rolling was directly cancelled, making Senju Tobirama extremely embarrassed in the battle and inevitably getting injured.

Although Senju Tobirama won the battle in the end, it took him thirteen minutes to completely eliminate more than a dozen zombies. By the time he was done, he was panting, sweating profusely, with bruises all over his body and blood flowing, making him look exhausted and embarrassed.

Moreover, after the fight, Senju Tobirama frowned deeply again, because he felt that his strength had been improved. Although it was only a little, it seemed to have improved, and he knew why it was so - some red halos would appear in those killed living corpses. Although it was very faint, it did exist, and then it would be automatically absorbed into his current body.

These things are the power of the soul, which remain in the zombies and are the soul fragments of the original owners of these zombies.

When the zombies are killed, the fragments of their souls will be absorbed by the undead body of "Ashes" and transformed into the power of the undead.

In other words, as long as Tobirama Senju continues to fight and kill the "enemies" of this world, he will continue to become stronger.

This made Senju Tobirama very silent. Although there was a saying in the ninja world that one could become stronger through fighting, that was only to improve combat experience and skills. If one really wanted to become stronger, one still had to rely on hard practice.

However, this dark world is very direct. Killing enemies can make you stronger. It seems that it is urging him to fight hard and kill all the "enemies".

The reason why "enemy" is put in quotation marks is that if you want to become stronger, you can turn those who are not enemies into enemies.

"Is it a characteristic of this world, or is it... because I am Ashes?"

Senju Tobirama frowned deeply, thinking about the reasons and causes, but the information was insufficient at the moment, so he needed to continue investigating and testing.

Then, Tobirama Senju took out another bottle, which contained a strange golden liquid. This was the liquid that the Fire Keeper had given him before. She said it was a healing potion specially made for Lord Ash, and drinking it could heal his injuries.

Now that Senju Tobirama is covered in wounds, it is obviously time to use this potion.

However, Senju Tobirama was skeptical and distrustful of this, and originally did not want to use it. But given the current situation, if he did not use it, his injuries would not recover, and if he encountered the enemy again, he would surely die.

So, after a little consideration, Senju Tobirama finally gritted his teeth and drank the potion.

In an instant, a golden, flame-like halo spread throughout his body, and actually restored most of his severely injured body. His condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Such a horrific healing effect shocked Tobirama Senju, because such healing ability is definitely not possessed by the ninja world. Even his eldest brother's super sage body does not have such a strong self-healing ability - at least the self-healing speed is definitely not as good as this special potion.

Having never played any games and having no idea what a digital life form was, Tobirama Senju could never imagine that such a magical thing existed in the world. This made him more and more curious about the world, and for the first time he wanted to explore it thoroughly.

Then, Senju Tobirama died.

Because the second-generation Hokage soon encountered the new killer in Dark Souls 3, who was also the first BOSS in the game - Guda, the Judge of Ashes.

The invincible Second Hokage could not escape the slaughter of this rookie killer. After the encounter, he was easily killed by the other party.

Yes, not being killed after a hard fight, but being killed easily.

After all, now that even the small monsters have been strengthened to such an outrageous degree, this novice BOSS must have been strengthened even more.
