Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 240 Immortal Body - Third Tier

boom!
Smoke dissipated in his palm, and two strangely shaped longswords appeared out of thin air.

The blade is straight and long, covered with short, barbed blades that resemble branches. As it is swung, tiny blue-purple arcs of electricity leap on the branches. It is none other than the twin swords of Kirigakure Raijin—Raikage Kiba!
When the ninja sword he had been longing for finally appeared, Sasuke's eyes immediately lit up.

I've wanted this Thunder Blade ever since the mission to the Land of Waves started, and after a lot of effort, I finally got my hands on it.

With the help of this lightning blade, he will surely pass the Super Chunin Exams smoothly and get one step closer to avenging himself on Uchiha Itachi!
Seeing the growing urgency rising above Sasuke's head, Hui Li smiled and handed him her twin swords:

"It's yours."

"Thank you."

Sasuke eagerly took the Lightning Blade with both hands, like a child who had just received a favorite toy.

Since Hui Li had just touched the blades, the hilts were slightly hot to the touch, but he didn't care and gripped the twin blades tightly. The lightning chakra within his body, which had undergone nature transformation, instantly surged into the blades.

Zizizi!
The sound, like the mournful cry of birds, echoed in the hall.

Kakashi's name, Chidori, comes from the fact that when he pushes the Lightning Release nature transformation to its limit, the violent lightning emits a fierce cry, like the mournful cry of thousands of birds.

However, this cry is not exclusive to Chidori; any lightning release technique that is condensed to its extreme will emit a similar sound.

Now, Sasuke only needs to input a tiny bit of chakra, without even needing to perform any nature transformation, and blinding sparks fly from his lightning blade, accompanied by the mournful cries of birds.

Crackling lightning danced wildly across it, and he could feel that with just a slight flick of his wrist, he could unleash a terrifying lightning strike!
"So strong!"

Shocked by the amplification effect of the Lightning Blade, Sasuke's lips curled into a smile, revealing his gleaming white teeth. Combined with his sinister Sharingan, he seemed poised to unleash a maniacal Uchiha-style laugh at any moment.

"This is the council hall. If you want to experiment with ninja tools, go to the training ground."

"Take the root, you take Sasuke to register with Tsubaki first." Hairi interrupted Sasuke directly. She had already made contact with three of the Four Laughing Uchiha, and no one could act crazy in front of her.

Moreover, she didn't have much time; she still had issues to deal with, such as those concerning Red Bean and Ibiki Mori.

"Yes!"

Aburame Torune bowed his head in response, then turned back to Sasuke and gestured with his chin before walking towards the side steps, leaving Sasuke with only his back view.

"He doesn't seem to like me very much."

Sasuke quietly whispered to Gray Cricket as he sheathed the Thunder Blade inside the seal on the inside of the bandage.

Although the other party had inexplicably become the big boss of a mysterious organization and his superior, he still felt that she was the angry girl with notes stuck all over her face during the New Year.

"It's probably just an illusion; Tore's personality is actually quite good!"

As Aburame Torune walked further and further away, Hairi didn't notice anything amiss.

Aburame Torune was lucky; before she had suffered much torture in Iwakuma's training department, she secretly took over Root in place of Danzo, thus retaining her former humanity.

She quite liked this shy, quiet boy, and his strength and loyalty were well worth cultivating.

The parasitic worms have an extremely vicious ability to destroy cells; once they come into contact with them, they are almost certainly dead. They are extremely effective against taijutsu-type ninjas like Guy.

Of course, she poses no threat to him.

Putting aside the barrier's inherent defensive capabilities, her physique has already changed. Once an insect invades, it will be killed by her extremely high body temperature and immunity. If any survives, the Blood and Flesh Curse Seal can activate wind and thunder to clean up the foreign objects in her body.

In short, with the newly joined Sasuke as the main force in the frontal battle, Torane responsible for delivering the decisive blow at crucial moments, and Sai as the all-around support, the three of them are a standard secret technique team.

Furthermore, the Super Beast Imitation Drawing can materialize a giant eagle, thus making up for Sasuke's missing flying ability. In addition, Karin will also be coming to the Chunin Exams, so Sasuke can use his charm to seduce her, and the super healer who combines healing, reconnaissance, and control can also rejoin the team.

The 'Eagle Squad,' belonging to the Roots, is about to be formed.

"maybe!"

As Aburame Torune walked further and further away, Sasuke skipped the stairs and jumped off the platform, quickly catching up with Torune. The two walked out of the council hall one after the other.

Fate is truly wondrous.

As Sasuke's figure receded into the distance, Hui Li felt as if everything was entering a cycle.

She was drawn to Hashirama's cells, while Sasuke was tempted by the Lightning Blade. Both joined Root in full view of the entire organization, and both were taken to the Equipment Department by the Aburame ninja and met Tsubaki.

The other party will also receive a mask, codename, and chakra map from the equipment department. In the future, Sasuke might also sit in her position, recruiting new Root members, with Aburame Torune silently assisting him from the sidelines…

The empty parliament hall fell silent.

Those attending a Root meeting, including Ibiki Morino, were secretly anxious, looking up at the woman on the high throne, hesitating whether or not to speak.

There was no need for Hui Li to take action. From being blocked by Sasuke when entering the base, to the intimidation of the Iwakuma Squad, to the Dark King looking down on them in the conference hall, and the Root ninjas standing like a forest... their unruly spirit had long been worn away.

"Now it's your turn."

Seemingly finally noticing the presence of Hongdou and the others, Hui Li lightly tapped the armrest of the seat with her fingers.

"Yes, Lord Yamato!"

Clearing his throat, Ibiki Morino unfurled the scroll in his hand, which was already slightly wrinkled from sweat, and naturally assumed the role of a subordinate:

"This is the first written test for the Chunin Exams, mainly testing intelligence gathering, teamwork, and most importantly, courage..."

"Bring it up."

Ibiki Morino paused slightly, about to carry out the order, when he noticed that the shadows on the floor of the dimly lit meeting room suddenly began to twist and writhe.

"This is……"

Hongdou was startled and instinctively took two steps back, only to find that under the starlight, all the shadows around her were changing drastically, and the walls and dome were constantly flashing and darting out blurry light and shadow.

Genma Shiranui, who was pressed against the wall, clearly felt the shadows lurking behind him, making him feel cold and unbearable. He immediately stood up, grimacing, and stood with Anko.

After a while.

From the writhing shadow beneath Morino Ibiki's feet, a strange black hand suddenly reached out.

The pure black palm was as deep as a black hole, yet it was an extremely unique plane, like a piece of black paper folded into the shape of a human hand.

He swallowed hard, placed the scroll in the black hand, and then saw the black hand sink back into the ground with the scroll.

Looking up again, the mysterious woman on the throne was taking a scroll from the shadowy hand in front of her and silently turning the pages. Behind her, two twisted ghostly figures loomed, and two faint points of bloody light could be seen.

That woman doesn't look like a good person at all!

Morino Ibiki, whose face was covered in scars and who looked like a wanted criminal, thought to himself.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

With the Chunin Exams about to begin, some small ninja villages that are very close to the Land of Fire have already arrived in Konoha.

To accommodate these candidates from other villages, the Anbu (Anbu) specially built row of dormitories in some remote areas. It is said that an elite ninja named "A" contributed a lot to this.

The Root ninjas have also been mobilized, setting up both visible and hidden sentry posts around the dormitory, and there are also ninjas specifically tasked with constructing barriers. Once a battle breaks out, they guarantee that not even a fly can escape.

This is not just empty talk; the Uchiha clan can attest to it.

During this period, all the procedures for the Chunin Exams were finalized by 'Yang Release: Gray' and ultimately all of them were compiled into the mind of the examinee, Gray.

The official written exam paper hadn't even been made yet when she, the chief examiner, stole all the questions.

Because Ibiki Morino's method was somewhat easy for the Super Chunin Exams, most of the questions were actually set by Kairi using Yang Release: Higanbana herself, and the standard answers would automatically appear in his mind as soon as the questions came in.

Although of no use.

After all, the examiners, judges, and graders are all her people; she can get full marks even with a blank paper...

With Yang Release: Gray Glass and his various clones all busy, the main body naturally couldn't slack off every day.

The training room at the very bottom of the root.

The dimly lit corridor flickered with orange-red flames. The Nara brothers were still standing guard in the shadows beside the door. Normally, they were only at the level of ordinary Jonin, but their shadow abilities were extremely useful in the dimly lit Root.

Since Hui Li's body was too heavy, making it difficult for her to move around, many chores were handed over to the Shadow Guards.

Inside the stone chamber.

In the center of the secluded chamber, there was a pool of water inlaid with countless lightning crystals. The liquid current burst and churned continuously like magma, and the air waves carrying the smell of burning permeated the space.

Metallic silver hair spread across the pool surface like an iron fan. Gray Glass's eyes were closed, and she lay naked in the plasma, her full body radiating a crystal-clear jade-like luster.

Although her figure is on the voluptuous side, it cannot be described with words like erotic, sexy, or lustful. She seems to be some kind of advanced humanoid life form, with her body emitting a fluorescent glow similar to some kind of peculiar mineral or metal. Even if she were to lie naked in the pool, it would be difficult to arouse any sexual desire in her.

sizzle...

Liquid lightning travels between the skin's textures. Lightning that could turn an ordinary person to ashes is like a gentle, soft stream of water, causing damage to cells that is barely visible to the naked eye.

Two years ago, she had already mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Pure Lightning Release Chakra could no longer harm her; only natural lightning could cause her damage.

To this end, she specially built a Thunder Pool entirely made of the purest Thunder Stone, with countless cables at the bottom of the pool connecting to Konoha's main power supply system. The cost of its construction was simply incalculable.

The electricity costs for each training session alone are astronomical, burning through money even faster than Akai's.

If she weren't in charge of the massive, violent Root organization, which was funded by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Konoha while simultaneously sending people out to kill wealthy merchants and nobles for profit, she really wouldn't have been able to afford it.

The stored thunder crystals were far from enough, so she simply dispatched Root ninjas to guard Mount Raigū. Whenever the Cloud Village was mining ore, she would send shadow clones to rob the thunder crystals and capture the Cloud Village ninjas as test subjects.

Because she frequently travels between the two countries, a wide road has appeared in the primeval forest north of the Land of Fire, and in recent years, merchants have often transported goods along it.

During this process, she also encountered several ambushes by the Cloud Village, and her blood stained Leigu Mountain red several times. The Cloud Village finally gave up mining the Thunder Stone, and she barely managed to gather enough materials to build the Thunder Pool.

Gudong!

Gudong!

The slow, heavy heartbeat was filled with a sense of power; ripples appeared in the plasma in the pool; Gray Glass closed his eyes and looked inward at his body:
The three viscous green orbs contracted slightly, and the cells damaged by the lightning continued to grow milky white tentacles, frantically absorbing energy and regenerating under the accumulation of infinite vitality.

Although she was constantly consuming energy to repair her body, her chakra actually increased instead of decreasing.

His heart beat slightly faster, and the chakra synthesis was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, a purple sun rose in his heart!
Her "Reversal of Eight Gates" has also encountered many problems over the years.

After swallowing the entire Death Forest, the vitality within the body grew stronger and stronger, and the cells could no longer bear and absorb the excessive life force.

She didn't want the easily out-of-control gray bones to progress too quickly. The blockade caused the life energy in her body to be extremely abundant. When she was transporting external life force into the 'door', it was like inflating a fully charged tire, which was slow and laborious!

The Lightning Pool not only assists in the training of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but also damages the body to accelerate metabolism. The capacity of the evolved cells is also gradually increasing, and the speed at which it absorbs abundant life force is getting faster and faster.

It rapidly absorbs life energy, its physical body evolves quickly, and its adaptability to lightning release changes daily, achieving the effect of stepping on its own foot.

The life force within the three doors used to be so viscous as to be almost solid, but now it has been absorbed by her and is only glowing. Perhaps after this cultivation, it will be able to disappear completely!
Zheng!
Hui Li opened her eyes, and two dazzling stars appeared in the dim stone chamber. Her pupils and irises were all dark gray, and some kind of special pattern seemed to be forming in them. Bai Yan was about to complete the final fetal movement and give birth to a new life.

However, this was not the main purpose of this training.

Even before the mission to the Land of Waves, she had synthesized Wood Release chakra under the guidance of Yang Release user Hai Ri. The chakra seed underwent a strange transformation, as if it were devouring a tailed beast.

Then it was discovered that the Wood Release bloodline limit was gradually modifying her body, causing her cells to mutate. Her cell membranes began to produce structures similar to plant cell walls, covered with milky white tendrils, like the roots of some kind of plant.

These days, the mutation rate of her cells has intensified, and they are increasingly resembling the morphology of the cymbidium cells. She can clearly feel that her ability to bear life force is becoming stronger, and the rate at which she absorbs life is changing every day. She is beginning to evolve into a 'vegetative person'.

The Sage Body, which was originally thought to evolve only after the Chunin Exams, has finally reached a certain critical point after more than a month of mutation!

Gulp...

The plasma twisted and churned, seemingly electrolyzing even the air. Gray Glass's chest heaved, and his slow, heavy heartbeat silently accelerated.

Her body temperature rose higher and higher, and wisps of water vapor evaporated from her mouth and nose, but before they could come into contact with the air, they were dissociated by the plasma in the Thunder Pool.

boom!
Boom boom!

The scorching electric current ignited the hydrogen gas, causing an explosion that released intense light and heat above the Thunder Pool. Meanwhile, Gray Glass felt only a gentle breeze on her face as she breathed in the scalding air, and the oxygen in the room began to thin.

She felt no discomfort at all. The scorching air, hot enough to bake her lungs, entered her body as if it were water entering the ocean. It seemed that a second, completely new energy conversion system was being transformed inside her cells, no longer relying on the oxidation reaction of mitochondria.

Woohoo~
A breeze seemed to begin to blow in the sealed room, and strange sounds were emanating from the gap below the door, as if announcing to the world that she was about to enter the third stage of the Immortal Body!

He became another god of ninjas after Hashirama Senju!
