Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 698 The Scorpion Enters the Gate of Truth

Electric arcs flickered on the alchemical array.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared on the alchemy array, and an unknown black substance began to emerge.

The scorpion looked down at its arm, which was disintegrating.

"The price?"

To enter the gate of truth, one must pay an equal price.

Break it down from the hands to the arms, and even to the body.

"Do you need my whole body?"

"Can natural energy replace it?"

Scorpion manipulated natural energy to flow towards the area where his body was decomposing. The natural energy successfully replaced the decomposing body, and even his arms, which had already decomposed, were rapidly regenerating.

Equivalent exchange does not mean fixing something, but rather requiring everything to be equivalent.

As a large amount of natural energy disappears.

"Yo."

A greeting rang out.

Scorpion's pupils contracted; the world before him had completely changed without him noticing.

Before him was a world of pure white, and he had no idea when it had changed.

The process completely disappeared in the middle.

Even his clone possesses power comparable to a Dharma body, so it's impossible that he was completely unaware of the changes around him.

Scorpion turned around and saw a huge door appear behind him, with some kind of evolutionary equation carved on it.

He quickly suppressed his shock, turned to look at the small white figure in front of him, and knelt on one knee, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Origin."

"Hahahaha." The little white figure laughed loudly, "You call an existence like me the Root?"

"But my understanding seems to be a little different from yours."

Scorpion's face remained indifferent, but his tone carried a hint of doubt as he asked, "Could Your Majesty please explain?"

"You seem to have a great thirst for knowledge," the little white figure said with a grin. "According to you, I am the consciousness of this planet."

impossible.

Scorpion didn't believe this claim.

The planet Sea Star, possessing countless natural forces, had a condensed planetary consciousness, but it was completely ignorant and acted on instinct.

The movie stars who gave birth to these ninjas in the past didn't even have planetary consciousness.

What makes him so special about this planet?

This is completely different from normal logic.

"It's just a coincidence."

The white figure extended a finger and spoke.

The other person can read minds.

Scorpion slowly gathered all his thoughts.

"Could this situation really happen by coincidence?"

Scorpion was still somewhat skeptical.

"Who knows?" The little white man shrugged. Even if his experience were repeated, he might not be reborn.

"And I am not just me."

"I am the one of this planet, the whole, the truth, all things, and you too."

Scorpion couldn't see the white figure's eyes at all; all it had was a wide-open mouth.

"If you want to understand the knowledge of the entire universe, I can't help you, but if you want to understand everything on this planet, I can help you achieve that."

"As long as it's an equivalent exchange, it's fine."

The little white figure said expectantly.

The natural energy within a scorpion is beneficial to the growth of this planet, which also indicates that the scorpion has many advantages.

"Then let me see," Scorpion said in a deep voice, "at the cost of all the natural abilities of this body."

Natural energy is easy to collect.

Although Awang has relatively few natural abilities in this world, given some time, he can recollect them later.

"Hahaha, as you wish."

The little white figure was laughing loudly.

The Gate of Truth behind the scorpion slowly opened.

Black tentacles stretched out from the Gate of Truth, pulling his body toward the Gate of Truth.

As Scorpion entered the Gate of Truth, his mind was instantly flooded with a vast amount of information.

The truth of the entire world seemed to appear in my mind.

Even his own knowledge, which had reached a bottleneck, found a breakthrough.

This is entirely an upgrade of his current knowledge.

"More, I want more."

If he could understand all the truths about this planet, he might be able to find the path to the root.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut with a loud thud.

Scorpion found himself standing in front of the little white figure once again.

"This is all the price you've paid."

The little white figure is smiling.

Scorpion's face turned pale, and all the natural power within his body vanished into thin air.

The reason for its disappearance cannot be found at all.

"This is the power of the root."

"You should leave."

Scorpion suddenly felt disoriented and found himself in a basement.

There was a figure standing in front of him, with a human body but four arms, eight legs, and black scales on its body.

The strange creature was staring at the scorpion with a bewildered expression.

"Father."

It's like a baby who has just learned to speak suddenly making a sound.

"Did the refining fail?"

Scorpion frowned as he looked at the strange-looking creature in front of him.

wrong.

"Artificial humans?"

The strange creature before me was newly created, both in body and soul.

"So, training the human body is about recreating life."

The other person's body and soul are completely new, and they even possess some kind of special ability.

"But it's not bad either."

Scorpion reached out and stroked the head of the creature before him, but blue threads kept flowing from his hand into the artificial head.

Begin weaving memories into this creature, while simultaneously leaving behind means to kill it completely.

"That's really good technology."

He just randomly chose the identity of a dead person to create it.

However, the other party's soul was not summoned back, but instead underwent a change due to the Gate of Truth.

"From today onwards, your name will be Poison, my son Poison."

"Poison?" Poison tilted its head.

"My name is Poison." Poison spoke more and more fluently, as memories kept appearing in his mind.

From today onwards, he is poison.

The scorpion walked out of the laboratory, its venom still present.

Just then, I saw the two Edward brothers walking towards me.

"Teacher," Edward and Alphonse immediately adopted a respectful demeanor.

Scorpion is now their teacher, and the two of them still respect their teacher very much.

"Mm." Scorpion nodded.

Poison tilted its head and looked at the two of them from behind. Poison had now become like a normal person, with red hair, a slightly childish face, and a curious expression. It was wearing a red cloak, but underneath was the uniform of the Sand Village.

"Teacher, this is him."

Edward pointed at the poison with a puzzled expression.

"I am Poison." Poison rushed forward excitedly to introduce himself, with an innocent smile on his face. He looked like a pure and innocent big boy.

"Father's son, poison."

"Huh!!?" ​​x2.

Edward and Alphonse were completely synchronized, their eyes scanning Scorpion and Venom's faces one after the other.

"How is this possible?! Scorpion, how old are you?! How can you have such a big son?!"

Scorpion looked at Edward, who had spoken, with a puzzled expression: "I'm in my thirties, almost forty. I'm old enough to be your father. Didn't I say that?"

"They never said that." The Edward brothers quickly shook their heads.

Moreover, Scorpion doesn't look like someone in their thirties at all.

It's already quite good if someone in their thirties looks like they're fourteen or fifteen, or even twenty.

"Now you know."

Scorpion said nonchalantly.

Whether it's his main body or his clone, his physical appearance remains youthful; he has been modifying himself for a long time.

"Oh, right." Scorpion was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said to Edward, "If anyone causes you trouble lately, just say you're my students. I'm sure..."

"You'll survive."

Edward frowned. "Have your people arrived?"

Scorpion nodded.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't run into Rasa, the people of Sunagakure won't make things too difficult for Edward.

Edward, however, looked grave. This was a kind of intrusion, and he wasn't even prepared for it.

The scorpion passed Edward and continued forward.

The rest is up to Rasa, who is merely a retired Kazekage.

Moreover, he had no other pursuits in this world besides the Gate of Truth.

All that remains is to regenerate natural energy and enter the Gate of Truth once more.

Watching the scorpion leave.

Edward and Alphonse exchanged a glance.

They could already foresee the enormous changes that would take place throughout the world.

The speed of the change, however, was beyond Edward's expectations.

The Zach incident is not completely over yet.

The president convened a meeting of all alchemists the very next day.

Edward and his brother sat in a corner of the meeting room, watching the various alchemists take their seats.

"Judging from your expressions, you seem to know something." A refined-looking man wearing glasses took the initiative to step forward and talk to Edward and his companion.

Alchemist of Fate.

Xiu Tucker.

"Mr. Tucker," Edward nodded to Hugh Tucker, his face grave, and said, "Let's wait for the results."

"This seems to be a big deal." Xiu Tucker's face also showed a solemn expression.

As the state alchemists took their seats, everyone waited for the last person to arrive.

"Da da... da da"

As the sound of footsteps rang out, the entire conference room fell silent.

Everyone turned their attention to the doorway.

Two figures walked in through the main entrance.

The difference in the order of events caused everyone to frown.

The person walking at the very front was a complete stranger to them, while their President, Kim Bradley, was walking right behind him.

This positioning itself carries many meanings.

Everyone looked at the two people who entered with puzzlement.

The man standing on the command platform was a stranger.

Only Edward's face darkened; the other person's clothes were very similar to the clothes underneath the Scorpion's outer robe.

This kind of attire definitely belongs to someone from the Sand Ninja Star.

"Everyone, I am Rasa, the Kazekage of the Sand Ninja Star."

Luo Sha said slowly.

Everyone turned their attention to Luo Sha, wanting to see what he was up to.

"And they will also be your future rulers."

As soon as Luo Sha finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

"What did you say, you bastard?!"

"What makes you think you can rely on?!"

"Who do you think you are! Trying to notify us?!"

Alchemists from various countries stood up, and the alchemical arrays on their bodies lit up.

"Then may I assume that Your Excellency has taken the President hostage?" Iron-blooded alchemist Master Gran raised his hand, already wearing specially made gloves.

Everyone looked at Rasa with a fighting spirit.

We await his answer.
