I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Although they defeated the army of Iwagakure this time, it was mostly because the enemy underestimated them.

If the enemy does not concentrate its forces but chooses to invade in a dispersed manner, then at most he can only kill a portion of the people, and the Star Ninja Village will also inevitably suffer casualties.

"Should we send an envoy to Iwagakure?" After confirming that her guess was correct, Nonou asked Naraku for instructions.

Naraku waved his hand and said, "Iwagakure is definitely more anxious than us right now. Taking the initiative to negotiate will only lower our bargaining power. We might as well wait for them to come begging to us."

"I understand!" Nonou exclaimed in realization.

It is indeed necessary to take the initiative in negotiations.

Given Huang Tu and Han's status in Iwagakure, Iwagakure was indeed more eager to save them than they were.

"By the way, remember to drag out the negotiations a bit longer, because the longer it goes on, the more advantageous it will be for us."

After exchanging views on the negotiation for a while, Naraku reminded Nonou of something at the end.

Nono was a very intelligent woman, and she immediately understood what Naraku meant.

Time is on their side.

As time goes on, Hoshigakure will only get stronger.

"Perhaps we could try refining these Sharingan eyes into magical artifacts!"

After Nono and Sasori left, Naraku, sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but turn his gaze back to the pairs of Sharingan eyes on the coffee table.

he mused.

Perhaps he's been too engrossed in studying weapon crafting lately; in any case, now whenever he sees something even slightly unusual, he subconsciously thinks about whether it can be refined into a magical artifact.

The same is true now.

Although the Sharingan is a human organ, its unique power inherited from the Divine Tree can be considered a special material for refining weapons.

"We can try, but the first thing we need to deal with is the Five-Tails!" Feeling that it was a very feasible option, Naraku immediately put his Sharingan into the sealing scroll.

However, instead of immediately dealing with the Sharingan, he did something else first.

Using the technique "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch," Naraku instantly teleported from his office to the training room on the ninth floor.

As you can see, in addition to Naraku's true qi shadow clones, there is also Han being guarded in the middle by several true qi shadow clones on the ninth floor.

The true energy was injected into Han's body, severing his consciousness and preventing him from waking up.

Naraku walked towards Han, causing the guarding shadow clone to step back, and then reached out his right hand and grabbed the top of Han's head.

"Just as the Sharingan can be regarded as a special material for refining weapons, a divine tree that is suspected of absorbing spiritual energy and growing can also be regarded as a special kind of spiritual medicine."

A ghostly light flickered in Naraku's eyes as he probed into Han's body with his divine sense, until he reached the location of the seal on the Five-Tailed King Mu.

The seal that can seal the tailed beasts is naturally very advanced, but it is powerless against divine sense and was easily penetrated by Naraku's divine sense.

In the dimly lit space, in the center was King Mu, whose body was bound by chains.

"who!"

Just as Naraku's consciousness entered the sealed space, King Mu, who had been dozing, immediately noticed and opened his eyes.

His divine consciousness transformed into a physical form, and Naraku revealed his true form without any attempt to conceal it.

"It's you!!"

Upon seeing Naraku, King Mu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly tried to stand up.

The chains are taut.

Iwagakure still has a strong control over the tailed beasts.

King Mu, bound in chains, couldn't even get up; the chains held him tightly.

"Human, what are you doing here?" The seal made King Mu even more irritable, and he roared at Naraku.

Unfortunately, Naraku had no interest in communicating with the other party. After glancing at Mu Wang's condition and confirming that the other party could not resist, he appeared above the other party's head in a flash.

boom! ! !

Before King Mu could react, an astonishing suction force suddenly descended upon the sealed space, reaching directly onto King Mu.

The tailed beast chakra surged uncontrollably from Kokuo's body, and was then continuously drawn out of the sealed space.

"Damn it, how dare you steal my power!!"

King Mu quickly realized his situation and, in a fit of anger and shock, rebelled again.

However, its resistance was destined to be futile, and it could only watch helplessly as its chakra was continuously drained away.

The tailed beasts originated from the Divine Tree, and in Naraku's view, the Divine Tree's creation can be perfectly described as a special elixir.

This gave him the idea of ​​absorbing the power of the Tailed Beasts, wanting to see if the power of the Tailed Beasts could enhance his cultivation like a spiritual medicine.

Using his divine sense to perceive King Mu's situation, Naraku immediately activated his nameless technique to absorb the power of King Mu's tailed beast.

boom! ! !

The true energy that directly reached the seal now acted as a conduit, continuously transporting the absorbed tailed beast chakra into Naraku's body.

If it were ordinary chakra, it would be nothing more than low-grade energy full of impurities to Naraku.

If it weren't for his lack of cultivation, he wouldn't have bothered refining chakra for battle.

After all, the act of refining chakra is itself a form of self-exploitation, which is harmful and not beneficial.

But at this moment, the tailed beast chakra that Naraku absorbed was different.

Although both are called chakra, tailed beast chakra is fundamentally different from ordinary chakra.

Not only is it of higher quality, but it also shares the same properties as spiritual energy.

That's right.

Just as Naraku had predicted, although the tailed beast chakra was exceptionally violent, when Naraku used his nameless technique to refine it, he immediately sensed that the nature of the tailed beast chakra was almost identical to the spiritual energy contained in the elixir.

In other words, the tailed beasts originating from the divine tree are indeed like a special spiritual herb.

"Can!"

As the first wisp of true energy was refined from the tailed beast's chakra, Naraku was immediately invigorated.

After his initial excitement, he didn't rush to continue refining the essence; instead, he fell into deep thought.

It is certainly gratifying to have confirmed that tailed beasts can help improve one's cultivation.

But this also raises a serious issue.

That is the Otsutsuki Hagoromo, known to the world as the Sage of Six Paths.

It should be available for purchase tomorrow at noon, so updates will be a little later. Also, there will be a ton of updates, ton of updates, ton of updates!!!

Chapter 81: Fifth Level of Qi Training

Tailed beasts are not without owners.

They were all created by Hagoromo Otsutsuki using the chakra of the Divine Tree.

Imprisoning the Tailed Beasts in the bodies of Jinchuriki, like the major ninja villages do, might not be a big deal, since it wouldn't actually cause any real damage to the Tailed Beasts.

But if a tailed beast were to die in a true sense, the situation would be completely different.

Naraku's refining and absorption directly damages the Tailed Beast's essence, making it impossible for it to recover even if it is reborn.

If it is completely drained, it will lead to the true death of the tailed beast.

Naraku was still self-aware.

He knew that with his current strength, he might have reached the top among the regular combat forces in the ninja world, but it was clearly not enough to fight against Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Naraku needs to consider whether his act of absorbing the tailed beasts will attract Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

To give up, or to give it a shot.

"Completely giving up is impossible, and how can one achieve great things if one is always looking back and forth? At worst, I'll absorb less." Naraku didn't hesitate for long and quickly made a decision.

That means continuing to absorb.

Of course, the absorption rate needs to be controlled.

If Hagoromo Otsutsuki hadn't appeared during the absorption, he would have given her face and absorbed less.

However, if Hagoromo Otsutsuki really appears during the absorption and attacks him, then there's nothing more to say but to go all the way and drain the Five-Tails dry.

Since the other party has already made a move, he certainly has nothing left to worry about and will inevitably try to maximize his strength.

Having made up his mind, Naraku immediately took action and continued to absorb the Five-Tails, Kokuou.

One wave after another.

After absorbing the continuous stream of tailed beast chakra into his body, Naraku refined it into true energy using his nameless technique.

This caused his cultivation level to increase rapidly, as if he were riding a rocket.

Throughout this process, Naraku did not become engrossed in improving his cultivation level. Instead, he remained highly vigilant, guarding against the possible appearance of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Inside the dimly lit underground space.

The white-haired figure sat alone with his eyes closed.
