Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 93 Chakra Life Forms!

Orochimaru stared intently at Genma: "Genma-kun, then where does your self-healing without hand seals come from?"

Genma smiled and calmly said, "Of course it's a change in the nature of Yang Release."

"As long as the nature of Yang Dun changes deeply enough, it can be done naturally."

"Of course, it also requires an extremely large amount of chakra."

"Orochimaru-senpai is also interested in Yang Release?"

Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "Of course, the First Hokage's self-healing ability without a seal was absolutely unique in the past."

"That's true."

Xuanma nodded, then threw out the bait: "The deeper the change in the nature of Yang Escape is actually to adjust the ratio of mental power and physical strength."

If the ratio of physical strength to mental strength is 8:2, then self-healing without a seal can be achieved.

Orochimaru's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible?"

"This goes against the very foundation of chakra, doesn't it?"

'

Genma smiled but didn't say anything.

Orochimaru quickly recovered, licking his lips. "Heh, it seems Tsunade has already verified this!"

Xuanma smiled and nodded.

"That's amazing!"

Orochimaru was shocked: "This is truly an unbelievable talent."

He was well aware, of course, that what the Wind-Riding Black Horse could do did not mean that others could do it as well.

Some things are inherently meant for a select few!

Therefore, even knowing this information, Orochimaru knew that he probably wouldn't be able to replicate it.

At this moment, Orochimaru wanted this young man in front of him even more.

It's not just his body, but also his brain.

"Genma-kun, if we cooperate, we can definitely uncover the truth of the world and achieve immortality!"

Orochimaru's tone was full of seduction.

Xuanma asked directly, "What can you teach me, senior?"

I can teach you Wood Release and Yang Release self-healing. Don't worry about whether you can learn it or not, just ask if I've taught you.

But what can you teach me?

Since it's a collaboration, it should naturally be mutually beneficial.

Orochimaru naturally understood this as well, and with a smile, he opened his arms wide: "As long as Genma-kun needs it, I can teach you everything I know."

"Hehe, Genma-kun must have already noticed the difference in me, right?"

"I've discovered that your perception is also quite astonishing."

Xuanma nodded: "I did feel it."

"It seems that you've undergone some kind of modification to your body. Strictly speaking, you can no longer be considered a normal human being, right?"

Orochimaru laughed and said, "That's certainly true."

"This is the result of my years of research, giving my body strong resistance to blows and recovery capabilities."

"Speaking of which, this also utilized a portion of the Eight-Tails' power!"

Genma was slightly surprised: "Eight-tailed?"

Then, feigning ignorance, he asked, "Senior, did you once obtain the Eight-Tails?"

Orochimaru smiled and showed off: "Yes, I once infiltrated Kumogakure and managed to make the previous Eight-Tails Jinchuriki go berserk, then obtained a portion of the Eight-Tails' cells and used them to cultivate a part of the Eight-Tails' body."

"If Genma-kun is interested, you can visit my laboratory after you return to the village."

"The other part is the result of my many years of research on snakes, which I call soft tissue modification."

"It's clear that Genma-kun's physical defense is also astonishing, but the soft body modification can make your body even more perfect."

Xuanma shuddered and immediately shook his head: "Forget it, I have no interest in human modification."

Orochimaru was slightly disappointed.

He's serious; software modification is his most important secret technique right now.

Even if they were to take on disciples, they would not pass on their knowledge.

Genma asked, "Is there anything stronger than Wood Release?"

Orochimaru chuckled softly: "There aren't many techniques in the ninja world that can compare to Wood Release."

"I'm researching a secret technique to free the spirit from the fragile body and achieve immortality. Hehe, Genma-kun, you can join me if you're interested."

Xuanma pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it similar to a spiritification technique?"

Orochimaru said, "Spirit Transformation Technique? I've studied this technique. It has a major weakness: once the physical body dies, life ends."

"My technique is far superior to this one."

Xuanma suddenly realized, "It seems that your technique is not yet fully complete."

Orochimaru nodded: "Indeed, but it will be soon."

He already had a complete idea for this technique; all he needed was time to refine it.

Of course, even if this technique is completed, a part will still be missing.

That was a perfect body.

And this is exactly what's right in front of us!

Of course, he didn't want to take over the body of the Wind-Riding Black Horse; he just wanted to study it.

Moreover, he also wanted those ingenious ideas from Yu Feng Xuan Ma.

Genma wasn't particularly interested in Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu, but he was interested in Orochimaru as a person.

This is a key figure who influences the fates of many important people, and he should have a lot of potential stats.

So he went with the flow and became Orochimaru's "prey".

"If you don't mind, could you tell me about your technique?"

Xuanma asked rather presumptuously.

Orochimaru laughed generously and said, "Of course, no problem."

"This technique allows one to transfer their spirit into another person's body and gain all the abilities of the vessel. In this way, the spirit will no longer be bound by the physical body and can continuously acquire new abilities."

Xuanma pondered after listening, "Transferring to another body, and retaining the previous body's abilities, must rely on chakra. Only chakra can carry the biological genetic information of the spirit and the body."

Orochimaru smiled and praised, "As expected of Genma-kun!"

Xuanma continued his analysis: "However, this would inevitably cause a rejection between the soul and the body, unless one's own genes are highly compatible with the genes of another body."

"Of course, these issues should be solvable through medication and pre-reincarnation screening; technically, they're not difficult."

"However, this technique has a risk: if the person whose body is taken over can defeat the senior, then it will be tantamount to giving the other person a chance."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed: "That's true."

What a keen intuition!

No wonder she can achieve so many incredible results at such a young age.

Orochimaru was secretly surprised.

Suddenly, Genma's gaze sharpened, and he warned directly, "So, senior, don't even think about touching my body. My Yin Release is stronger than my Yang Release."

"Moreover, I don't have anything special about me. My current abilities are all the result of my own hard work and cultivation."

Orochimaru wasn't embarrassed at all and frankly laughed, "I am indeed very interested in Genma-kun's body, but I have no intention of stealing it."

At least not now.

Genma thought for a moment and said, "Since you've nurtured the Eight-Tails' body, have you ever considered nurturing a body that you yourself need?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow: "Heh, cultivating a complete living body is much more difficult than cultivating tailed beast cells."

Genma, never one to shy away from stirring things up, asked, "So, what does Senior think of the Tailed Beasts?"

"The Eight-Tails is incredibly powerful. It would be wonderful to obtain its body, wouldn't it?"

"Tailed beasts possess unlimited chakra and can constantly revive; couldn't that be considered a form of immortality?"

"Isn't the secret here worth exploring?"

Orochimaru licked his lips and chuckled, "It seems Genma-kun is quite interested in the Tailed Beasts!"

"However, the tailed beasts are extremely special life forms. They are aggregates of chakra, and also aggregates of hatred."

Genma, upon suddenly grasping a crucial piece of information, was secretly startled and asked, "Senior, are you planning to transform yourself into a life form like a tailed beast?"

"The physical body can switch freely between chakra energy and flesh and blood!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply.

This guy was underestimated!

"Hehe, Genma-kun, if you were an enemy, I would definitely do my best to eliminate you."

Orochimaru laughed.

Xuanma shrugged and smiled: "Geniuses always have to bear more."

"However, I have become somewhat interested in the research of my predecessors."

Orochimaru was actually pleased to hear that: "Of course, there's no problem with that."

"I can give you the research data when we get back to the village. Of course, I haven't finished it yet."

Genma had absolute confidence in Orochimaru: "I believe that you will accomplish it, senpai."

"I'm also very willing to exchange ideas with you about Yang Release and Wood Release, but I must remind you that it's very difficult to achieve what I have. Even Lady Tsunade hasn't been able to do it yet."

This was stated beforehand, so don't blame him if you can't learn it.

Orochimaru chuckled: "Some things don't necessarily need to be mastered by oneself to be useful."

Xuanma nodded slightly, and the deal was done.

He waved and turned to leave, saying, "Then I'll be going now, senior!"

Orochimaru watched Genma leave, smiled, and then turned back to the wooden house.

Genma, who had left, was lost in thought.

Tailed beasts are indeed extremely unique life forms in the ninja world.

They are aggregates of chakra, but also possess flesh and blood.

Orochimaru used biological materials scraped from the Eight-Tails to cultivate the horns of the Eight-Tails.

At the same time, tailed beasts can switch between flesh and blood bodies and chakra energy bodies.

Another point is that tailed beasts do not have individual souls.

This can also be seen from the time when Eternal Sister split the Nine-Tails.

Their consciousness is combined with the tailed beast chakra.

Genma was certain that he possessed the Eight-Tails' chakra within his own body.

The Eight-Tails chakra within him also possesses the consciousness of the Eight-Tails, but it is not the main consciousness; rather, it is more of a chaotic and evil consciousness.

However, Genma has not yet figured out the mechanism by which tailed beasts are reborn after death.

Perhaps the key lies in the Ten-Tails' chakra!

Genma even suspected that the Sage of Six Paths might have become like the Tailed Beasts, given their unique life forms.

As for Orochimaru...

In my memory, during the Fourth World War, I was given a physical body after being freed from the Heavenly Curse Seal by Sasuke.

This is clearly not right.

It's almost like the Otsutsuki clan.

This technology is absolutely valuable.

"It's a pity we couldn't find White Zetsu, otherwise, if we had shown it to Orochimaru for research, wouldn't the character's potential have skyrocketed?"

Xuanma felt a pang of regret and returned to his stronghold to continue his training.

In the days that followed, all he needed to do was go out for a stroll each day and scare away the Cloud Recluse.

Perhaps it was because Konoha's initiative to negotiate made Kumogakure feel that they had an opportunity, or perhaps they wanted to gain some leverage, so they became restless again.

Unfortunately, upon seeing Xuanma appear, they immediately retreated, their attempt completely thwarted.

On the last day of May, Genma, who was pondering illusion magic, suddenly stopped and opened the [Settings Collection].

Setting value: 40 points.

After the previous settings were modified, there were 6 points left. When the Hidden Cloud Village withdrew from the Land of Wind, 4 points were added. Now, 30 points have been added at once.

Xuanma immediately checked the log.

Amegakure has invaded the Land of Grass!
