After his long absence, Orochimaru is rarely interested in chatting, but right now, even his ninjutsu research is temporarily put on hold as he continues talking.
Akabane actually wanted to leave earlier, but couldn't hold back the opponent pulling him, so he could only sit down and listen patiently.
"Akabane, I completed the sound detection research some time ago. I took some free time to read your comic update. Although the settings in it are very strange, I still have some questions after reading it."
Orochimaru dragged his own research records, "Humans and beasts have souls, but what is the essence of souls, and does it have a gender?"
Good question, I also want to know!
This question is too philosophical, and he can raise a lot of similar questions.
But Akabane didn't think too much about it and was thinking of how to answer Orochimaru's question.
"At the beginning of a person's birth, the soul is like a blank sheet of paper. It takes time to teach and learn to understand the difference between men and women. Therefore, I think the soul is genderless, and what determines the gender is the mind and memory of the person."
But Orochimaru did not wait for Akabane's reply and answered the question by himself. Then he stood up and walked to the experimental platform.
There are two boxes on it, with a mouse and a cat.
"If I exchange the souls of cats and mice, and exchange their memories, they will soon adapt to their new identities, and so will people."
He babbled.
Akabane closed his mouth and listened intently.
What Orochimaru said makes sense.
Orochimaru doesn't need others to answer him, he only needs an audience-audiences who don't look at these questions and research with strange eyes.
After talking, Orochimaru closed the box, then sat down and said, "In addition, I am still thinking, if someone forges the memory of characters like Iruka and Mizuki, will they think they are Iruka and Mizuki, and live like this?"
Good question, I also want to know that!
Akabane felt that apart from this sentence, he couldn't answer anything else. This was the difference between a student and a teacher.
If the Teacher couldn't answer it, he could still speak eloquently and express his unfamiliarity in a polite and decent manner.
But being a student is different.
Orochimaru finished his conjecture about the soul in one breath and finally sighed helplessly.
The soul realm is vast, and even the Second Hokage who is best at research does not have a clear understanding and explanation of this, let alone Akabane.
Sitting down again, Orochimaru turned the page of another booklet that he got from below.
What kind of soul research is this?
Akabane couldn't help getting nervous. At any rate, he was also a genius in the eyes of others. It would be too embarrassing if he was unable to answer any of his questions!
Fortunately, Orochimaru did not embarrass him this time.
This booklet is a design drawing, which demonstrates combined ninjutsu in detail.
Like using the Earth-Style Barrier technique as the barrel, Wind-Style as the power, and using fire Oil and Fire-Style as the shells to carry out long-range strikes.
In short...
"This is a cannon?"
"Yes, I created this Jutsu by referring to your manga idea, But for the time being, I didn't know who is suitable to use this Ninjutsu."
Orochimaru does not know Fire-Style himself.
He has now developed two types of Chakra Nature Transformation-one is wind and the other is soil.
Without Fire-Style, it can only be combined and released.
"This is just a rudimentary idea. The ultimate goal is to create a Ninja Tool, not a Combination Ninjutsu."
Orochimaru introduced his technique.
"Not bad."
In his lifetime, maybe Akabane can see a real sea-ship battle!
Akabane is more and more confident in Orochimaru's vision of the One Piece country, and perhaps in the future Land-of-Rivers can really be transformed into one piece.
But when the time comes, the name of the Land of River will be somewhat subtle.
The two chatted for a while, and then Akabane left the laboratory with a letter.
After four or five days of being away, it is time to go back and report his safety.
It was already night.
Konoha's night is relatively lively, and there are still some people walking on the street.
When he returned to his Clan, his parents hadn't slept yet.
Seeing Akabane's safety, Kurama Keiko and Isamu were also relieved.
Akabane said briefly what he could and then talked about Uzumaki Tomiko.
The Land-of-Whirlpools is probably gone.
From what Uzumaki Shuhai's letter said, Akabane can guess what happened, so it's not weird for Little Tomiko not to know it as she probably already knew this will happen in her heart.
Although she is young, she is actually very clever.
Upon hearing it, Akabane's mother, Kurama Keiko agreed with the adoption as a daughter and changing her surname.
As for Kurama Isamu, he listened to Keiko.
Since his family agreed, it is impossible for the Kurama clan to object, with the future leader and an Elder requesting it.
Akabane was away for a few days, so he didn't know the situation.
But now he is in the clan, his treatment is basically the same as that of the next patriarch. When everyone mentions Akabane, everyone praises him and is respectful, so his reputation is terribly good.
of course...
His laziness is also famous. For example, now, once he gets home, he takes a shower, and then he doesn't care about everything and goes to bed first.
Yamano Izumi knows it well, that's why when he sent over a hundred copies in the morning he didn't bother finding Akabane.
However, due to the shortage of personnel, the number of people in the convoy was much smaller this time, and he moved back quickly with the help of surrounding villagers.
Although there are comics, Kurama Yunlang knows better that Akabane has returned to the clan, but after working together for a long time with Akabane, he has a good understanding of Akabane's nature.
Like right now. After returning from a trip, Akabane usually has to sleep at least half a day.
When he sleeps, whoever bothers him will have their faces sprayed, unless it is a big shot such as the Third Hokage, Uzumaki Mito and the like looking for him, otherwise, it will be postponed until he wakes up naturally.
And today, someone was looking for him.
But it was only Uchiha's little kid who came, so Kurama Yunlang didn't go to Akabane, and waited until he woke up by himself, and when Akabane came to the comic shop, that's only when he was going to tell him that someone was looking for him.
∞∞∞
When Akabane woke up, he first went to the comic shop and planned to leave a shadow clone to continue creating updates, but what was awaiting him was the impatient Uchiha Ryo, who looked at Akabane with red eyes.
It was Uchiha Ryo who was looking for him, but that guy was just a messenger, and it was Uchiha Yuan who was really looking for Akabane.
After saying the message, Uchiha Ryo finally leaves without making a scene in the shop.
It seems the child has grown up!
Akabane didn't think too much and left behind a shadow clone, and then slowly went to the guard department.
But something went wrong here.
After not coming here for a while, he thought the guard department was still in the same place, but when he arrived at Uchiha, he knew that the guard department had all moved to remote outskirts of the village while he was out—
Judging from the geographical location along the way, it should be the place where Uchiha was expelled from the manga.
After asking an Uchiha Guard, he goes in through the gate and faces the lake where Sasuke Uchiha first used his Fireball Jutsu, in the future.
There was an abandoned training field on the periphery of the lake, but it has been rebuilt and expanded to become a large training field. When Akabane walked in, many ninjas were still training inside.
After approaching the door, he saw Uchiha Yuan standing in the middle of the training ground, like a headteacher, scanning his students back and forth, paying attention to the training situation of the audience.
It seems that he has not used his Mangekyo Sharingan many times as his eyesight is still very good.
Akabane murmured secretly from the bottom of his heart and walked in to find that Uchiha Yuan's eyes were actually fixed on a child.
This child is about four or five years old, and his talent seems to be good. He has the strength to accurately throw Kunai into the centre of the target ten meters away. It can be seen that he has inherited the blood of Uchiha perfectly.
"Your child?"
Akabane asked in a low voice.
"Yes, his name is Fugaku."
Uchiha Yuan said proudly. Looking at his current performance, he knows that Fugaku will definitely be a genius in the future.
"I see."
Akabane glanced at the child.
In appearance, they are a bit similar to Itachi and Sasuke, but they have very limited resemblance. It seems that Itachi and Sasuke have more inherited the appearances of their mother, Uchiha Mikoto.
Seeing Akabane's arrival, Uchiha Yuan looked at Fugaku a few more times, then turned and walked in the other direction with Akabane.
He pointed to the training ground and said: "I think the Third Hokage-sama appointed you as a training instructor. It must be his intention. Therefore, this time I invite you to ask questions about training."
"Training? Actually, there is nothing much for me to say. My training mainly relies on my bloodline limit illusion. I will use the real five senses to simulate the real scene of the battlefield to the greatest extent to achieve the purpose of preparatory training."
Akabane explained.
"Well, I have guessed this, but recently Shin Yūhi seems to have developed a jutsu for freely manipulating illusions. Although there are no real five senses on it, it should have a partial effect, right?"
Akabane was startled.
Has his future server succeeded?
But after thinking about it, Shin Yūhi is now in the guard department, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with him.
After thinking about it, his joy turned into sorrow...
He sighed secretly, and then nodded heavily: "The effect is there, but there may be differences in some places."
"such as?"
Uchiha Yuan stopped nervously.
Although the Uchiha clan can also use illusion, Akabane is obviously the real expert in this regard.
"After all, the illusion is only an illusion. Many strategies can be used like sacrificing others and then accomplishing their task or strategic goal. Without the five senses that can make it more realistic, the ninja will become half baked, etc."
Akabane explained in detail.
These questions have actually been discussed with Danzo in the past, and now he just repeats them.
Uchiha Yuan listened carefully to all the details, and he nodded every time Akabane said something that made sense.
In the end, he sighed and said: "Listening to your analysis, it is true. After all, the illusion is only an illusion, and no matter how real it is, it is not comparable to the real battlefield."
Akabane nodded, and after thinking about it, he said, "But I have a plan here. The guard has a lot of new recruits, and our preparation department is all new recruits. We will wait for the preparation department to start training for a while. At that time, we can have joint fantasy training."
"Joint Fantasy Training? This is a good way."
Uchiha Yuan immediately agreed to the plan, and the two walked a few more steps. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Akabane.
Akabane glanced at it, and his eyes widened.
Mangekyo?
He raised his head in disbelief and glanced at Uchiha Yuan.
"Don't worry, it's just some unclassified stuff."
Uchiha Yuan sighed lightly.
Akabane opened it. As he said, it was really not too secret. It said that Uchiha Yuan had used a different method before when his eye was still an ordinary sharingan like the practice of pupil surgery.
The vision loss is actually not much, but for the elite Jonin, even a small change can feel the difference.
He then said: "The more hatred and pain the user feels, the more powerful their Mangekyo Sharingan is. I believe you should have guessed this, otherwise, it would not be described as such in your comic."
"Hmm... I guess that Uchiha's eyes should be related to mental power variation. The greater the negative emotions, the more active this mental energy will be, and in the end, it will form a special chakra to normal chakras."
Akabane said half-truth and half-lie, he didn't say this too completely.
Regarding these, there are more or less sporadic records within Uchiha, so Uchiha Yuan nodded slightly in agreement, but did not point out what was wrong.
He was just a little emotional.
If Akabane knows this, is it his own guess, or is there information on Uchiha in the second Hokage and Anbu?
Before the transition, Uchiha Yuan might have had a grudge and wanted to figure it out, but now he doesn't care.
Know it, it's not a big secret anyway.
The important thing is that the people of the tribe are alive and that everyone can live in peace and stability. These are better than anything else.
At the same time, he is confident that, with his own management methods.
The Uchiha Clan will not activate their Sharingan with the use of cannibalism. Once such a clansman appears, he will without the slightest hesitation. kill him!
[TL/n: The "Cannibalism" here means: Killing a clansman for the sake of Awakening.]
