Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 146 Acupoint Potential, Beggar's Version of Eight Gates Formation

Wood Release: Pillar Clan!

Houses rose up from the ground as chakra surged, filling a large open space.

On the other side, Yamato was also using Wood Release to create houses.

It consumes a lot of chakra.

The effect is—

In the blink of an eye, rooms large enough for the Ibrahim clan to stay overnight had sprung up in the suburbs.

"This...is unbelievable!"

Ibrahim was extremely surprised.

Wood Release!

Back then, the First Hokage was invincible, and his Wood Release technique became famous because of it.

and so.

Even the Ibri clan had heard of the Wood Release ability.

Konoha actually has a Wood Release Kekkei Genkai!

Not only that, these two users of the Wood Release bloodline limit were also willing to build houses for them free of charge.

In just a short time, ten houses had been built.

The Ibrahim clan is not very large; dozens of people squeeze together for one night, and ten three-bedroom houses are more than enough.

In fact, they originally thought they would be lucky to be able to stay in a tent tonight.

"The water and electricity will take one to two days to complete, so it can't be done immediately. Please bear with it for now. As for food, we'll make do with soldier's rations for today."

Kyohiko looked at the ninjas of the Anbu.

They nodded, took out their personal ration pills, and gathered about a hundred pills, enough for this group to consume today.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Ibrahim was extremely excited.

Konoha has been so good to them!

Behind him, boys and girls looked timidly at Kyohiko and his secret agents, their eyes filled with gratitude.

From what we can see, Konoha is very friendly; at least we don't have to worry about survival.

"Then, Chief Wutai, there is something I need your help with."

"Please give your instructions!"

Ibrahim bowed to show his respect.

Jingyan said, "I would like you to demonstrate your abilities so that I can consider how to improve based on them."

"To be honest, I tried a change myself, I don't know if it's similar to yours."

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal.

Immediately, a cloud of smoke was exhaled from Jingyan's mouth.

"This is……"

Ibrahim was extremely surprised.

At first glance, it looks like cigarette smoke, but it has no smell or temperature, just like their smoke-transforming bloodline limit.

He was startled, even somewhat apprehensive.

Can Konoha (leaf leaves) be turned into smoke?

In this way, their value will be greatly reduced...

Ibrew couldn't help but worry, but then he sighed inwardly, realizing he was overthinking things.

If Konoha had mastered ninjutsu, why would they relocate people from another part of the Land of Fire hundreds of miles away to their village?

He calmed down slightly.

"My lord, it's similar, but what we have isn't ninjutsu, but a natural ability. As long as we develop and explore it, we can use it, but the corresponding flaws will also be more severe."

Ibrahim respected him even more.

He figured it out.

Since the other party was able to develop such a smoke ninjutsu in such a short time, they must be able to help their clan solve a problem that has plagued them for centuries.

They should rely on and trust the other party, and understand their own position.

"Well, if they are similar, I will use my own techniques to study them first, and at the same time ask Orochimaru-senpai to help study the flesh and blood genes. I will try to solve your difficulties by approaching them from both the perspectives of ninjutsu and genes."

Jingyan paused slightly before explaining, "I have a theory: if you master enough ninjutsu techniques, could you alleviate your own shortcomings?"

"We've never tried this before."

Ibrahim shook his head.

Although they are a ninja clan, their strength is inferior to that of many small ninja villages, let alone a behemoth like Konoha.

The knowledge and skills accumulated within a family are far inferior.

"Okay, I understand."

……

ANBU base.

Hyuga Hizashi stood in front of Orochimaru, a hint of unease on his face.

Orochimaru smirked: "Hizashi, don't worry, you can't kill me. Come at me!"

"But……"

"It's alright. If we can't use human trials, this is the only strategy we can adopt. Otherwise, who knows when we'll truly solve the problem?"

Orochimaru chuckled softly.

It's been a month.

Although they have mastered the patterns and structures of chakra points throughout the human body, they have not yet found special points like the Tanzhong point.

It wasn't that the daily rate was unsuitable, but rather that such an experiment was fraught with danger, and they dared not proceed directly.

And now.

Orochimaru finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Human trials are prohibited?

Then I'll do it myself!

Hyuga Hizashi took a deep breath and finally mustered up his courage.

Roll your eyes, open!

"As Kyohiko-kun said, slow down the chakra input, take it slow... The first acupoint, the external acupoint corresponding to the gate of life, stimulate it carefully."

Orochimaru said.

He discussed it with Kyohiko, Hizashi, and Hiashi.

The location of the Tanzhong acupoint is actually the "Injury Gate" in the Eight Gates Formation. Stimulating it with chakra is, to some extent, striking the "Injury Gate" to unleash potential.

So.

Similarly, the Life Gate should have the same effect.

However, the eight gates of the human body are extremely dangerous, and a single carelessness can lead to bodily disorders. Even if the theory is sound, no one dares to gamble on it.

The "monkeys" and "gorillas" provided by Kyohiko are feasible alternatives, but raising a group of ninja beasts from scratch is too far-fetched.

Orochimaru can't wait.

"yes!"

Hiyashi carefully controlled his chakra.

Chakra slowly flowed in, stimulating the power of the "Gate of Life".

Orochimaru carefully sensed his own body.

One second, two seconds.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

The daily movement stops.

Orochimaru said, "Continue."

"yes!"

Hizashi gathers chakra and transforms it into a needle-sized object.

Orochimaru sensed—

A surge of chakra automatically generates from the "Gate of Life" and is then exhaled from the throat.

He forced himself to endure it.

but--

"Cough cough cough!"

He started coughing violently.

Hizashi immediately withdrew his chakra: "Lord Orochimaru, are you alright?"

"fine."

Orochimaru's voice was a little hoarseer than before.

He was coughing.

"This acupoint, when gently stimulated using medical ninjutsu techniques, may be beneficial for treating throat ailments such as colds. If there is more chakra, it can stimulate a significant amount of chakra."

After a moment's thought, he said, "It might have a certain amplifying effect on ninjutsu like the Fireball Jutsu, which requires the assistance of the throat and mouth."

"Try again."

Orochimaru made a gesture.

Hizashi nodded: "Yes!"

Then, he extended his finger again, carefully controlling his chakra.

A second or two later, Orochimaru, without forming any hand seals, opened his mouth and spewed out a gust of wind.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.

Whoosh!

The rocks ahead were sliced ​​into countless pieces by the wind blades.

"really."

Orochimaru's lips curled slightly. "I can't say about other things, but the acupoints corresponding to the eight gates of the human body must have considerable power, but... Open, Rest, and Death are not to be tried, so only five gates are left."

Just as he was about to let Hizashi try again, he felt a sharp pain in his throat.

This……

side effect?

Orochimaru frowned, carefully sensing and comprehending the technique, before saying, "It puts a high strain on the throat, so it shouldn't be used frequently. Have you remembered that?"

"yes!"

Richa nodded repeatedly.

Orochimaru nodded: "We've already tried the Injury Gate (Kyohiko), so what about the corresponding acupoints for the Scenery Gate (Kyohiko) and Shock Gate (Kyohiko)..."

He was about to try again.

Outside, Kyohiko walked in.

"Don't try the acupoints corresponding to the Jingmen point."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru and Hizashi looked at Kyohiko.

Jingyan said, "The Jingmen point corresponds to the navel. I have deduced that effectively stimulating it should be able to enhance a person's spirit and physical strength, and increase the body's chakra and power. However, improper operation can be harmful to the body."

The Jingmen point corresponds to the Shenque acupoint, and the subsequent chakra pathways lead to the heart.

It is the last checkpoint before the "Gate of Death," and it is extremely dangerous.

A flicker of excitement crossed Orochimaru's eyes, but he wasn't willing to give up. He said, "Come on, I want to try!"

"OK."

Jingyan focused his energy and then condensed chakra at his fingertips.

He observed carefully and then discovered—

Jingyan condensed his chakra at his fingertips, evenly covering them to form a highly concentrated chakra membrane.

The moment of touch.

Chakra pulsated, emanating waves of energy.

This did not seem to be ordinary chakra, but rather it contained the characteristics of medical ninjutsu, which allowed this chakra to nourish the body, while waves of energy stimulated the area around the "Gate of Shock".

After a few seconds, the stimulation reached its peak...

Powerful chakra surged from the Gate of Shock to every part of his body, and his strength and chakra reached a level several times more terrifying than stimulating the Gate of Injury.

"How is it?"

"It's a success."

Orochimaru answered.

Then, he threw a punch.

"Bang!"

The air exploded with a loud bang, but what followed was the tearing of his muscles.

Kyohiko withdrew his chakra.

Two or three seconds later, Orochimaru felt a wave of weakness and exhaustion, followed by intense pain at the site of the muscle rupture.

He gritted his teeth and formed the hand seal.

Immediately, his body transformed into a snake, and a new Orochimaru crawled out from the snake's body.

Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique.

After the transformation, Orochimaru's injuries were completely healed.

"What terrifying power!"

Orochimaru exclaimed, "This is only stimulating the Gate of Shock, equivalent to opening a small part. No wonder the Eight Gates possess such terrifying power!"

"Besides the Eight Gates Formation, there must be other similar acupoints hidden, but we haven't found the correct way to use them yet."

Hyuga Hizashi found it difficult to suppress his excitement.

Although it is not as powerful as the real Eight Gates Formation, it is already incredible that it can achieve a similar effect through chakra stimulation and training.

Previously, the Hyuga clan only thought that acupoints could be used to press pressure points and seal chakra, but they were unaware that the human body had a deeper treasure trove. They were truly unaware of the treasure mountain they possessed.

Research!

We need to continue our research!

Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smile: "Hizashi, that's enough for today. Thank you for your hard work."

"Not at all, I only made a negligible contribution. Thanks to Lord Orochimaru and Kyohiko-kun, otherwise..."

He bowed deeply.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Let's go back. Please report to Hiashi. We won't be going."

"yes!"

Hyuga Hizashi left quite consciously.

Kyohiko and Orochimaru clearly had more important matters to discuss in detail.

After Hyuga Hizashi left, Orochimaru sighed, "I didn't expect that Kyohiko-kun had even tested the 'Gate of Shock'."

"The Gate of Shock is the most dangerous, and I have the strongest chakra control, so I gave it a try."

"pity--"

Orochimaru sighed.

If human trials were possible, many secrets might have already been solved, and there would be no need to proceed step by step and try them one by one.

but.

He knew that Tsunade and Kyohiko would never cross the line, so he simply didn't bring it up.

"Kakashi has already given me the flesh and blood of the Ibri clan, but... they should have just arrived. Don't you have a meeting with Tsunade?"

Orochimaru chuckled softly.

He knows the situation in Konoha all too well.

The joining of a clan is not something that can be decided by the Hokage alone; it involves many conflicts of interest and requires layers of discussion and negotiation.

Jingyan said, "Fortunately, the Ibri clan knew what they were doing and chose the most remote location, but it's probably a place they're quite familiar with."

Orochimaru, who was writing in his notes, paused for a second upon hearing this and said, "Under the cliff that was collapsed by Dai Hong?"

"Yes."

Jingyan nodded.

Orochimaru said, "It's a good location, not far from here. The training ground in the middle can be rebuilt."

"That's what I was thinking, but I plan to build a large training park there and put all kinds of facilities in it so that everyone in Konoha can use it."

"Kyohiko said."

Orochimaru frowned, looked up, and said, "I remember that area is near the headquarters of the National Guard? What are your plans regarding the Uchiha?"

"Therefore, we have to wait until the Uchiha are dealt with."

As Jingyan spoke, he formed a hand seal, "Let's ignore them for now, take a look at this technique."

He then demonstrated the secret technique of "smoke transformation".

Orochimaru squinted.

A few seconds later, he said, "When did you master it?"

"recent."

"If we can achieve the same effect as the Ibri clan, then it has great potential."

Orochimaru licked his lips.

Smoking means that the body can change at will, no longer bound by its original form.

even.

As a special life form, it merges into another person's body...

Thinking of this, his eyes became clear.

"Kyohiko-kun, can we trade this technique? I'll trade you the substitution technique I just used, or, in addition, a research project that's not yet finished."

Orochimaru was overjoyed.

Jingyan nodded: "Yes, this technique itself is incomplete."

"Thanks."

Orochimaru said seriously.

Then, he took out the sealed scroll: "I will study their flesh and blood as quickly as possible, but do you have any ideas about a solution?"

"I believe their techniques lack a core."

Jingyan revealed his guess.

Orochimaru listened attentively, occasionally raising questions.

After exchanging ideas for a while, the two gradually reached a consensus.

The so-called core can be obtained quickly by using special chakra, or slowly by creating a "smoke core" using bloodline limits.

They gather without disorder, and separate without scattering.

Only when this condition is met can the bloodline limit of smoke transformation be considered truly successful.

but.

This is just a rough outline; success will not be achieved overnight.

Orochimaru took out the sealing scroll, and then took out a scroll and a booklet from it.

"One is my substitution technique, and the other is my research that I haven't finished yet."

"Let me see."

Jingyan accepted it.

I glanced through it.

The Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique is based on the principle of snake molting and is implemented using ninjutsu.

However, unless one conducts in-depth research like Orochimaru, restoring oneself using the "snake molting" method requires consuming a large amount of chakra.

As for the other study...

Jingyan frowned slightly.

really!

"Reincarnation of the Undead".
