Chapter 228 Edo Tensei Snake Aunt (Please subscribe and vote)

"interesting……"

The content was a roundabout account of Orochimaru. As Genichi Kinoshita read the content, a phrase couldn't help but come to mind: "Appearance reflects the heart!"
For Genichi Shushita, this was his inherent, or rather, subconscious, belief.

The body is material, while the soul is immaterial; it is a collection of consciousness, cognition, emotion, and memory, and exists in relation to the physical body as a material entity.

If you block out these subconscious perceptions from your past life and look at it purely from the perspective of the ninja world system and the chakra system, some clues will emerge.

Even without a physical body, the soul can still exist and enter the so-called Pure Land.

Without the soul, the body dies immediately, cells quickly lose activity, and life ends.

There are also tailed beasts, special chakra-aggregated life forms that can be resurrected after death...

"Yin Release, representing spiritual power, is used to create physical forms, while Yang Release, representing physical power, infuses life into those forms."

Does the physical body... include the soul?

beep~
Shuxia Xuan tapped his finger on the table, lost in thought.

Orochimaru believed that the soul also possessed the same genes as the body.

Even the genetic origin of the physical body is the soul.

Xuan Yi looked down at his primordial spirit.

The primordial spirit also looked down at itself.

Even if you lose your physical body, your soul can still possess the same power as your body, including bloodline limits!
But that doesn't prove anything.

Because bloodline limit itself is a chakra nature change, it is not that the physical body has a bloodline limit first, but rather that the chakra fuses to form a new nature change, which alters the physical body's genes.

At the same time, the soul will also undergo a transformation.

Genichi Kishita could be absolutely certain of this.

So what exactly is the essence of the soul?

Genichiro looked at the contents of the scroll: "Will, cognition, memory, emotion... genes, the source of life."

"Genes..."

Genichi under the tree took the scroll containing the cursed seal again, opened it, and read it carefully.

After a long silence, Xuan Yi looked up from under the tree: "The soul and the body share the same set of genes..."

"Using chakra as the carrier of genes, as well as the carrier of will, cognition, memory, and emotion, it is formed by the physical body, and the soul naturally condenses as well."

"This is why Orochimaru could still be resurrected through the Heaven's Curse Seal even after being sealed by Itachi Uchiha's Totsuka Blade."

"The cursed seal contains Orochimaru's chakra, and this chakra carries his genetic information, will, cognition, memory, and emotions."

"You should know that being sealed by the Totsuka Sword means that one's soul should also be sealed."

Genichi frowned as he thought about it.

Because he remembered another concept, namely, the division of the soul.

"It can't be a split soul..."

Genichi Shushita quickly rejected this unreliable claim.

In the original timeline, during the Konoha Crush plan, Orochimaru's hands were sealed by the Third Hokage, which meant that the souls of his hands were severed, so much so that even the Reanimation Jutsu could not cure him.

In the end, he was able to recover after the seal was broken and he retrieved that part of his soul.

"Therefore, my idea is not correct either. Orochimaru's cursed seal and the Reanimation Jutsu are not enough to recreate a soul."

"Otherwise, I could have restored my hands directly through the Reincarnation of the Undead."

Then the problem is coming.

How did Orochimaru, who was sealed by the Totsuka Blade, manage to revive using the cursed seal?
"Is the problem with the Totsuka Blade?"

Genichi under the tree reorganized his hair.

This sealing sword can permanently seal a person within a dreamlike, illusory world.

Illusion-based seals may not be able to completely isolate and seal away the soul like the Reaper Death Seal.

Genichi Shushita suddenly laughed: "We should try to resurrect Snake Aunt using Edo Tensei to test my guess."

Just do it.

Genichi immediately put away the scroll, got up and left the archives to bring over a White Zetsu.

This White Zetsu is not a clone, but rather something that was forced out of its own body.

It was often used for experiments, but now it's being reused.

Using a freezing spell to immobilize White Zetsu, Genichi clasped his hands together under the tree.

The art of reincarnation from dirty soil!

As the technique unfolded, White Zetsu was enveloped in a white light of soul, and then reshaped by the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Sure enough!"

Seeing that the technique had succeeded, Genichi under the tree understood the situation.

Soon, the offering was reshaped, and Orochimaru opened his eyes.

He looked down at his reflection, then looked up and laughed: "As expected, this is how I'll be resurrected!"

Genichi Shushita joked, "Senior should be glad Tsunade isn't here, otherwise you would have been beaten to a pulp by her."

Orochimaru shrugged and laughed, "It doesn't matter to me in this state."

"By the way, was Madara Uchiha dealt with?"

Shuxia Genichi raised an eyebrow: "Senior trusts me that much?"

Orochimaru stepped forward with a smile: "Of course."

Shuxia Xuan Yi shook his head: "Then I'll disappoint you, senior."

"I did seal away Uchiha Tekka, but Nagato completely revived Uchiha Madara with the Rinnegan."

"Moreover, Nagato's eyes did indeed come from Uchiha Madara."

Orochimaru was initially shocked, then his eyes lit up with excitement, and he instinctively stuck out his tongue: "Just as I thought."

"Looks like Kabuto is with you too."

"However, to be able to fight against Uchiha Madara, who possesses the Rinnegan, Genichi-kun, your strength is beyond my expectations!"

"So, it seems there's something else going on behind resurrecting me in this way?"

Shuxia Xuanyi nodded: "To verify an idea, about the soul."

Orochimaru immediately understood: "It seems Kabuto is with you too."

Genichi Shushita spoke frankly: "He is a very good talent and is worth cultivating."

"But don't worry, I won't steal your seniors' things."

"Just for now."

Orochimaru seemed to ponder this, then said, "Is the issue with the soul related to the Reanimation Jutsu?"

Genichi Shushita shook his head: "No, it's a problem with the soul itself."

"According to the explanations of the elders, it seems that as long as one has genes, consciousness, cognition, and memories, one can reshape the soul?"

Orochimaru nodded: "Theoretically, that is true, but I haven't fully understood the matter of the soul either."

"Judging from the current situation of various forbidden techniques and experiments, the soul possesses uniqueness."

Genichi under the tree seemed to be deep in thought: "Just like there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same."

Orochimaru praised, "A very apt metaphor."

"Even if you clone a body with the same genes and inject it with the same memories, it is absolutely impossible to create the same person."

"This is why I think the soul determines a person, but the most important thing is still genes."

"Of course, this is just my current speculation."

"The human body holds so many secrets, and the soul is an even more inaccessible realm."

"Even with the Reincarnation of the Corpse, there are still many imperfections."

The ability to reincarnate is to seize all of the host's abilities, and these abilities can be retained even after the next reincarnation.

The key lies in the genetic aspect.

However, even now, Orochimaru has not completely solved the problem of physical rejection.

Genichi Kishita echoed with a sense of shared feeling: "Yes!"

The body can be studied through dissection, but the soul...

However, Orochimaru's understanding of the soul may not be entirely correct, but there must be some parts that are correct.

Orochimaru asked, "Is Genichi-kun researching Yin-Yang Release techniques?"

"Yes!"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Yin-Yang Escape, or Yin-Yang, is the most core point, but also the most difficult and profound point to study."

"You previously cloned and cultivated the Eight-Tails' horns, so you must have also tried cloning an entire Eight-Tails, right?"

Orochimaru smiled: "Indeed."

"However, the Tailed Beasts are very different from other beasts. You should have seen some of the information Kabuto has, right?"

"The idea that the soul and body share the same set of genes was first discovered by the Eight-Tails."

"A chakra aggregate life form, where the soul and body seem to be indistinguishable, a very mysterious state."

Genichi immediately thought of the Nine-Tails.

If he releases the Yin Nine-Tailed Fox, the creature he separated will immediately gain a physical body.

In reality, the previous method of using the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique to divide the body was aimed at the soul.

A person's soul is taken away, and their body dies.

The Nine-Tails had its soul extracted and split into two, each possessing independent consciousness, a separate physical body, and its chakra equally divided.

Therefore, from the perspective of Yin-Yang Escape alone...

Genichi Shushita immediately sensed the vast gap between himself and the Sage of Six Paths. Even though he was now completely capable of overwhelming Madara Uchiha, who possessed the Rinnegan.

Even if Madara Uchiha possessed both Rinnegan, the outcome would not change.

Therefore, the Six Paths level, which is benchmarked against the Sage of Six Paths, cannot be achieved simply by having a pair of Rinnegan.

Gathering his thoughts, Genichi under the tree continued his conversation with Orochimaru.

The collision of two people's wisdom can solve many problems, but it also gives rise to many new ones, and many very interesting ideas.

at the same time.

News of yesterday's great battle in Konoha is spreading rapidly throughout the ninja world.

The commotion was really too big.

Konoha has never lacked spies from other ninja villages, nor has it lacked people keeping an eye on it.

Especially since Konoha had warned other ninja villages about Madara Uchiha's resurrection a few days ago.

Of course, Konoha also briefly informed the other ninja villages about the situation.

In particular, he revealed some intelligence to his allies, as well as an arrest warrant for Uchiha Madara.

The village of Sunagakure was the first to receive the intelligence.

One was given to Tsunade on her own initiative, while the other was sent back to the village by Karyura after obtaining Tsunade's consent.

After reading the two letters, Ye Cang was in turmoil and immediately convened a high-level meeting.

She can't bear this kind of pressure alone.

As a result, Chiyo and other high-ranking members of Sunagakure, who had quickly read the intelligence, all had their heads buzzing.

Madara Uchiha has been fully resurrected and has displayed astonishing power, almost destroying Konoha, although no villagers were injured because of prior preparations.

But Konoha was devastated, and there was a terrifying chakra fluctuation felt in the sanctuary.

All of this indirect information is sufficient to illustrate the point.

If this happened in Sunagakure, the entire village would probably...

At this moment, even those who had previously opposed sending the Jinchuriki to Konoha couldn't help but feel fortunate.

"If that's the case, does the Jinchūriki have to stay in Konoha indefinitely?"

Grandma Chiyo got to the heart of the matter.

Yecang solemnly said, "Uchiha Madara's goal is to collect all the tailed beasts, whether it's the One-Tailed or the Nine-Tailed; they are still the same."

"Konoha is not absolutely safe either. After Madara Uchiha takes down the other tailed beasts, he will definitely attack Konoha again."

"Therefore, we must join forces with Konoha to deal with Uchiha Madara."

"This is to protect our own interests!"

Ebizo said, "The previous information said that Madara Uchiha collected the Tailed Beasts in order to be resurrected. Now that he has been resurrected, what is his purpose in collecting the Tailed Beasts?"

Ye Cang said, "For peace!"

Granny Chiyo and the others were all astonished.

A high-ranking member of Sunagakure gritted his teeth and said, "This...this must be a joke, right?"

Yecang said calmly, "It is the peace that Madara Uchiha believes in, but it is definitely not what any of you here want."

Granny Chiyo said, "Then it seems we have no choice but to cooperate with Konoha."

Ebizo said, "At present, it is the best choice, and if what Karura said is true, Gaara can become that kind of perfect Jinchūriki, which is very beneficial to the village!"

Other high-ranking members of the Sand Village also expressed their opinions.

Yecang was very satisfied, and then said, "Then let's issue a warrant together with Konoha."

"In addition, strengthen intelligence exchange with Konoha, especially regarding Uchiha Madara and the Akatsuki organization."

……

Compared to Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure received the information much later.

But the response was lukewarm.

They were more concerned about the situation in the Land of Rain.

In particular, Iwagakure and Kumogakure sent out ninjas to investigate.

At the mountain cemetery, White Zetsu moved swiftly.

A portion of the tissue cells of the former Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast were obtained by Madara Uchiha, who then used White Zetsu as a sacrifice to perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Although it was the initial version, it was enough for Madara Uchiha.

He only needs the chakra of the One-Tailed Beast to avoid hindering the capture and sealing of the other tailed beasts.

Unlike Nagato in the original timeline who needed assistance from others, Madara Uchiha controlled the Gedo Mazo with ease, instantly activating the Nine Sealing Techniques of the Illusionary Dragon, draining the already limited chakra of the Tailed Beasts from Bunpuku, who had been resurrected through Edo Tensei.

Looking up at the Gedo Mazo slowly opening one eye, Tobi, the White Zetsu, exclaimed, "It really works! This way, it won't affect the sealing of the other tailed beasts."

"So, which tailed beast should we start with?"

Madara Uchiha leaped down from the top of the Gedo Mazo, and Black Zetsu immediately said, "I think we must be fully prepared before we act this time."

"Konoha already knows our purpose, but they just don't want to clash with other villages and benefit us, so Genichi Koushi hasn't made a move."

“If we take action against the other tailed beasts and fail to resolve the situation quickly, Genichi Koushi might find an opportunity to stop us.”

Aloe Vera White Zetsu also said, "We really need to be wary of Genichi Shushita; this guy has brought too many surprises."

"His eyes should have another pupil technique, but it seems he didn't use it yesterday."

"I suspect this guy hasn't shown his full strength."

Madara Uchiha said calmly, "He's waiting for me to attack the other ninja villages."

"However, I will grant his wish, but I hope he won't regret it later."

In the end, Madara Uchiha smiled faintly.

He now truly values ​​Genichi Kinoshita very much.

Therefore, he agreed with what Black Zetsu said.

To ensure success, first gather intelligence, then capture all the tailed beasts except for the Nine-Tails in one fell swoop as quickly as possible.

Black Zetsu advised, "It would be best if Kinkaku and Ginkaku were also resurrected using Edo Tensei first, lest Konoha beat them to it."

"You are not the only one who can master this technique."

Madara Uchiha said, "We'll see now if we try."

So another White Zetsu was brought in, and Madara Uchiha performed the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but failed.

Madara Uchiha laughed, "We failed. It seems someone has already beaten us to it."

Hashirama!

Madara Uchiha looked toward Konoha, his chest heaving with emotion.

Bai Jue A Fei said, "We've been searching for the bodies of Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, but after so many years, they should only have bones left, right?"

Ignoring Tobi, the White Zetsu, Madara Uchiha returned to the stone chair and sat down, his eyes lowered: "You can proceed with the plan!"

……

Konoha, underground experimental base.

Outside the quiet room, Jingyin poked her head out: "Xuanyi?"

"Eh, Orochimaru-sama?"

Shizune paused for a moment upon seeing Orochimaru.

Genichi turned his head under the tree: "Shizune, is something the matter?"

Shizune quickly replied, "It's already dinnertime!"

So fast?

Genichi Kinoshita hadn't expected a whole day to pass in the blink of an eye. He smiled and turned to Orochimaru, saying, "Senior, then see you next time!"

After saying that, Genichi snapped his fingers, and the Impure World Reincarnation technique was immediately dispelled.

Orochimaru was taken aback at first, then smiled: "Then I'll wait and see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru's soul ascended to heaven.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he burned all the offerings, and then Xuan Yi and Jing Yin went home together under the tree.

On the way, Shizune couldn't help but wonder, "Why did you revive Lord Orochimaru and then undo the jutsu?"

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "Because for him, this is not a good method of resurrection."

Shizune's eyes widened: "Are you going to use the Rinnegan?"

Genichi chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm not that generous."

Silently patted her chest, breathing a sigh of relief.

After dinner, instead of going for a walk with Tsunade and the others, Genichi Kishita went back into the experimental base.

This time, he opened a separate laboratory and had White Zetsu bring in a cage of white mice.

These white-eared rats were specifically bred for experiments, so that they could be implanted into various cells for experiments.

He grabbed a white rat and placed it on the lab table. Under the tree, Xuan poked the white rat with his finger, and the chakra scalpel severed the white rat's spinal nerves, causing it to die quickly.

But then, Shuxia Xuanyi used the Soul Imprisonment Technique to imprison the White Rat's soul.

After waiting for a while and confirming that all the cells in the White Zetsu Rat's body had stopped functioning, Genichi under the tree attempted to revive the White Zetsu Rat using Yang Release.

This involves using the nature transformation of Yang Release to convert chakra into life force, allowing the cells of the White Zetsu rat to become active again.

The essence of life is activity, is change!

Five minutes later, Genichi under the tree declared his first failure and handed the completely dead White Zetsu Rat over to White Zetsu Ada for safekeeping.

That is, decomposing the corpse to become its own nutrition.

Genichi under the tree continued to try.
