Chapter 161 Swapping Roles
The moment Muichiro Tokitou appeared, Suigetsu Kito's head almost turned 180 degrees to look at Konan.
He had been away from the Land of Rain for more than a month, and Muichiro had been resurrected for less than ten days, so the two did not know each other.
Also little known about Muichiro is Kabuto Yakushi.
His daily activities range from hospital to school to dormitory. He only heard from students that a cute boy came to the village, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.
Now that he finally saw his true appearance, he immediately smelled a sense of familiarity in Muichiro's hair color and expression, and glanced at Konan with a meaningful look.
Just when Xiaonan felt that she had never experienced such an embarrassing situation in her life, Gui Deng Shui Yue was worthy of being a righteous disciple.
He actually completely ignored the atmosphere, pointed at Muichiro Tokitou and asked Konan loudly: "Why have you never said that you have such a big child?" "Do you
have a child?"
"A child?"
" Huh?"
Gui Deng Shuiyue's voice vibrated back and forth in Xiaonan's mind and even in the blood vessels of her body like a curse.
Her skin was hot and it felt like there were countless ants crawling on her body.
Her own mental imaginary situation of having a private conversation with the Butterfly Ninja was difficult enough.
But she never expected that someone would yell out her suspicions as if they were facts.
Just when she didn't know how to behave - whether to take the opportunity to question the Butterfly Ninja, or to deny and draw a line, Genya Fusugawa, who was originally following Muichiro, quickly stepped forward and kicked Kito Suigetsu's calf. Exploding water splashes.
"Ouch! What are you doing?! I'm almost out of chakra. What should
I do if my legs can't connect?" "Then get out of here! Stop talking nonsense here!"
[Good job. ]
At least three people in the room had the same idea. As for who it is, let's not say for now.
After pushing Suigetsu aside who was full of anger, Genya Fusugawa asked about the business: "Senior Shinobu, what happened?"
Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses silently.
He always felt that Immortal Kawagenya's name for Butterfly Ninja was very strange.
The word "senior" is not necessarily used to address elders in their culture.
More often, the terms "senior" and "junior" are used between two people, which means that they have attended the same school or worked in the same department.
The Butterfly Ninja's genes are almost identical to those of Senju Hashirama, so it's almost obvious that she is a cyborg. So why would someone call an artificial human Senior?
On the other hand, this Immortal Kawakawa Genya is obviously a corpse with the same hair color and bone quality as Kimimaro, but he happens to be the same as the Butterfly Ninja, with a surname that is not even close to the blood successor limit. It's really The more I think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.
Unfortunately, Kabuto Yakushi didn't have the opportunity to get the genetic data of Immortal River for testing.
But Yakushi Kabuto is almost certain that Immortal Kawagenya's origins must be similar to that of Butterfly Ninja, and he may even have been created by her herself.
Now, a third suspicious child appeared, with hair color and expression similar to Xiao Nan.
When the Butterfly Ninja sent the crow to deliver the message, he said "Yizhu's identity". What does this sentence mean?
Could it be said that these artificial humans have a private organization? What does the word "pillar" mean? leader?
Kabuto Yakushi waited silently, waiting for Muichiro Tokito to call the Butterfly Ninja.
If it is also a "senior", then things will be really interesting.
"Don't be nervous. I called you here because I want you to see these things."
Butterfly Ninja pointed behind him.
"..."
Xuanya and Muichiro looked at the water tank and then at the Butterfly Ninja, their eyes synchronized with confusion.
Butterfly Ninja glanced back and realized that the octopuses were missing.
"Do you still have this ability?"
She took out an electric shock rod from her desk, put the electric shock head into the water, and then pressed the button -
the four octopuses in the tank appeared struggling and twisted.
As Kiden Suigetsu said, this kind of octopus that kept two hundred fog ninjas busy for two months was very cunning, and its mimicry ability was actually developed to the point of becoming invisible.
"It's okay now." Butterfly Ninja looked at the two of them, or to be more precise, Wuichiro, "Observe carefully to see if there is anything strange about them."
Wuichiro immediately understood, and his eyes that were originally slightly distracted suddenly became focused. , shooting towards one of the octopuses like a sharp arrow.
After a moment of silence, his face as relaxed as a cloud suddenly tightened, "It is different from other octopuses I have seen before." "Be
more specific?" Butterfly Ninja leaned forward and asked, "Where are they? Something's wrong?"
Although she had already seen some clues through dissection, what she could observe through the world was more comprehensive.
"Its siphon mouth is not connected to the digestive organs."
Muichiro pointed through the glass to what most people thought was the "mouth" of the octopus.
In fact, this is the place where normal octopuses excrete and spray ink.
If the octopus needs to move faster, the siphon will also spray water behind it, acting like a rocket thruster.
"Wait a minute..." Xiaonan interrupted Wuichiro strangely, "You, you can directly see inside its body?"
What is this? Konoha's Byakugan?
"Then you're just like the teacher?"
Suigetsu, who had connected his legs, shouted: "Wait a minute, are you the son of the angel aunt, or the teacher's twin brother? I remember that guy's name is not Sasuke. Come on..."
"Don't make a fuss, Anjuro can do the same thing."
Butterfly Ninja choked up Kiden Suigetsu, who continued to think divergently, and explained by the way.
"Muichiro was discovered by Giyuu in the Land of Snow. He was born with the ability to learn anything quickly. This way of observation should have been learned from Giyuu."
These words simply reversed cause and effect. But it dispelled Xiaonan and Shuiyue's doubts very well.
Of course Kabuto Yakushi didn't believe a word of it. But he was very discerning and didn't say a word that was unnecessary.
"So, is there any problem if it is not connected to the digestive organs?"
Xuanya Fusugawa asked in a timely manner.
He was illiterate and didn't quite understand why the butterfly ninja was so nervous to call them back because the octopus couldn't poop.
"It has no excretory function," Muichiro replied with a sullen face, "It means it can completely digest the food it eats."
"Wait..." Xuanmi looked at Muichiro in disbelief, and then at Butterfly Ninja. , "You mean?"
The two nodded at the same time.
They usually look the most relaxed and comfortable, but today they also showed unusual dignity.
In Xuan Mi's understanding, there is only one kind of creature in the world that does not need to excrete, and that is ghosts.
They may spit out the parts they don't like, such as the bones they have eaten, but the digested food will be directly converted into blood in the ghost's body instead of feces.
At the same time, the octopuses seemed to have finally recovered from the electric shock, but they clung to the glass wall of the water tank with a tacit understanding, as if they were trying to chew off Muichiro's fingers despite a layer of obstruction.
Butterfly Ninja remembered this scene.
"Of course, this alone is not enough to draw a conclusion."
The butterfly ninja consciously moved closer to the water tank, and sure enough, two more octopuses gave up Muichiro's fingers, appearing to be more interested in her, "There are other strange things. "?"
"There is a strange thing growing at the root of each of their arms and legs..."
Muichiro tilted his head in confusion, "I can't tell its purpose at the moment."
"What is that?" Konan asked. .
"It is the independent brain of the octopus that controls the wrist." Yakushi Kabuto explained: "The average octopus has three hearts and nine brains, each of which is responsible for different functions."
Just the description of the multiple brains and hearts has made Immortal Kawagen Gen Mi has some bad associations.
Suddenly, Muichiro said aloud: "But the thing on the arms and legs of this octopus is not just a brain, but a whole set of organs that have not yet developed." "
Ah?" Kiden Suigetsu didn't know how many times he had used this word today.
"That's what I mean," the Butterfly Ninja walked to the desk with a solemn expression, lifted the wooden box that was upside down on the table, and revealed the dissected octopus body.
"If you only attack the head and body of the octopus, you can certainly kill it..."
Everyone gathered around and noticed that the cut open octopus should have been dead for a long time, but its tentacles were still jumping around. Huh.
However, after being illuminated by the light, the tentacles pretended to be dead and calmed down, as if it did so because it felt everyone's gaze.
"But each of its arms and legs is absorbing the remaining nutrients in the head and body, cultivating the undeveloped organs in each body."
Muichiro stared at the corpse on the table and broadcast live what was happening under its skin. .
"That is to say," a rare trace of surprise flashed in Yakushi Kabuto's eyes, "if they absorb the nutrients from the corpse parts, they will change from one to eight? No wonder two hundred ninjas have been cleaning them for so long and couldn't help them. Nothing."
"That should be it."
The Butterfly Ninja suddenly understood something.
"I remember that almost all Kirigakure ninjas carry swords. I guess the way they clean up these octopuses is to chop or stab them in the sea, right?" "That
's what they do."
Kiden Suigetsu nodded. , "Except for Terumi Mei and her tribe, who directly dissolve the octopus with acid, most of the others just split open the big head of the octopus with a knife and that's it." (Note
: The bulge on the top of the octopus is actually its The body, its head is located in the middle part connecting the body and the arms and legs, which is the small area around the eyes.)
Then, he clapped his hands together: "I didn't think it was important before so I didn't say it. These little octopuses really only have Eight legs...
"But those big guys half as tall as a man, at least started out with twelve legs. "
In other words, it seems that only one has been killed, but there are at least twelve more being gestated.
"What a wonderful creature... Such a powerful survival ability, more tenacious than snakes and lizards, like Lord Orochimaru. Something that would be of interest. "
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted the frame of the mirror, "But I have never heard of such an interesting existence before. It looks like a new species.
"I'm really curious as to how it evolved into what it is now. Even if we don't mention this ability to split, the fact that it doesn't need to be excreted already violates most of the basic rules of life." "
Yeah, I asked that before. A slug that talks and makes a sibilant sound."
Gui Deng Shuiyue added: "It even poops after eating."
"Is it a more special species than an immortal? This is really unexpected."
"You Remember Hidan?" The Butterfly Ninja suddenly looked at Yakushi Kabuto.
"Of course, how could I forget. A person who can survive with only one head, even Genbe and Orochimaru-sama want to know his secret."
Kabuto Yakushi nodded: "Why, Miss Shinobu, what do you think Hidan Is there some kind of connection with this octopus?"
"Ah!" When Hidan was mentioned, Kito Suigetsu suddenly showed an exaggerated expression of "I remembered it": "That shark!"
Hearing this word, Butterfly Ninja, Genya and Muichiro exchanged glances with each other. Xiaonan, who had been listening in, was completely confused.
"What shark? What are you talking about?"
"It was the night when the Kirigakure village attacked Yu nin. The teacher chopped off Hidan's head, but the part below the neck of the guy was channeled by the ninjas of the Mikoshi clan. The shark swallowed it."
Kito Suigetsu recalled: "Then the teacher tortured Hidan's head on the way to the Kingdom of Water. The blood from his neck dripped into the sea, causing several wild sharks to mutate. , and even grew crystal scales that can reflect sunlight, and ordinary weapons cannot even damage its skin.
"According to the teacher, just a few drops of Hidan's blood allowed those sharks to complete the task in a few days. Millions of years of evolution..."
"That's not evolution, that's genetic mutation. Butterfly
Shinobi corrected him sternly: "From the current point of view, these octopuses that have mutated super digestive abilities should have been affected by the shark that devoured Hidan's torso."
"Either the shark died for some reason and the body was eaten, and these octopuses or their ancestors were one of the eaters.
"Or the shark was injured and the blood spread, infecting the octopus. Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out..."
What the Butterfly Ninja is most worried about is that the special features of the shark are discovered and therefore used by interested people.
After all, it is a psychic beast.
Just like a slug, a A psychic beast does not necessarily sign a contract with only one person.
Although the Inosaki wave whale is dead, the other contractors of that shark will find out the clues sooner or later. It is only a matter of time.
Unless all the Inosaki clan members are dead.
"Is this certain?"
Kabuto Yakushi, who once wanted to discover immortality through Hidan's blood, did not believe in this simple visual diagnosis.
He applied to the butterfly ninja: "Why don't we take these octopuses back and do a test on the machine to see if we can find the same components as Hidan in their blood..." "
It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Immortal Kawagenya I didn't have the patience to put my hand directly into the water tank, grabbed one and held it tightly in my hand, "If it has ghost cells in its body, I will know after eating it!"
['Ghost'? ] Yakushi Kabuto thought, [It's a pretty appropriate title...]
Kito Suigetsu: "Hey, why don't you bake it first? There might be parasites in this thing!"
But Immortal Kawakawa Genya has already cut off the octopus's The eight arms and legs were thrown under the feet, the fluttering head and body were stuffed into the mouth, chewed crunchily, and then swallowed with a "gulp".
"How does it taste?" Gui Deng Shui Yue obviously had a disgusted look on his face, but he still approached curiously, "Can you eat it without dipping it in the sauce?"
However, Xuan Mi just pushed him away in disgust, closed his eyelids, and silently felt the inside of his body. The change.
After three long seconds, Immortal Kawagenya's eyes opened.
"Hiss—" Gui Deng inhaled like water and moon, while retreating, but the others gathered around to observe carefully.
Immortal Kawa Genya's original white sclera turned into a misty gray, and was covered with red and black bloodshot threads that spread like branches.
These eyes looked like they belonged to a corpse that had died of suffocation.
But this change only lasted for two or three breaths and then subsided.
"Sure enough, it's that guy!"
Genya Fusukawa hunched over as if exhausted, covering his head with his hands like a delirium patient, "I can't remember that feeling wrong! That's his smell, I won't remember it wrong!"
There is a world and a boundary between life and death!
The blood of Kibutsuji Mukai once again lingered on the taste buds of Immortal Kawa Genya.
Although only for a few seconds!
Butterfly Ninja's fair face is almost transparent.
Even though she had expected it, it still gave her a big shock when the expectation was confirmed.
After she came to this world, the first meaningful word Yiyong said to her was "shark".
For three years, she thought that there had been no news about the shark and that it might have died in the depths of the ocean. However, it finally surfaced and began to affect the world.
"Why are you making such an expression?"
Kiden Suigetsu watched the familiar smile disappear from Butterfly Ninja's face, and felt even more nervous than when he saw her smile: "The Kingdom of Rain is so far away from the sea, no matter what, It won't affect us. Besides, now that we know the characteristics of this octopus, the worst thing we can do is write a letter and tell Terumi Mei how to solve it..."
"Think carefully." Muichiro
stared at him and nodded. temple, "That's the sea. If ghost blood floods in the sea, it will definitely affect not only this octopus, but all the surrounding marine life."
"How long is the coastline of this continent?" How many people live by the sea? How much seafood is shipped inland every day? How many people have the habit of eating raw octopus or sashimi? Kabuto
Yakushi was the first to react: "So Shinobu-san is worried that if Hidan's cells enter the body of the eater again with the fish, he will eventually accumulate in the human body." So by that time, it will be humans who have mutated. "
" Just like those evil cultists in Tang Ninja Village! "Gui Deng Shui Yue thought of the night that shocked him so much, "Those guys can eat people! "
Fighting each other and Suigetsu are commonplace in the Kiri Ninja. But taking out a human's liver and eating it was his first time, and he still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.
"Xuanmi's transformation just lasted only a few seconds, then... This shows that these octopuses have very few flying segment cells and have not mutated to have stronger abilities. "
Back then, a small piece of meat from the four-and-a-half-year-old Tengu was able to ghost the immortal Kawagenya for an entire night. The Hidan cells in this octopus were estimated to be less than one ten thousandth of that small piece.
But the quantity Once added up, the effect is still very impressive.
Butterfly Ninja raised his head: "If we can eliminate these marine creatures from the source, we may be able to avoid the worst thing from happening. Ghost lamp and water moon! "
"Eh? "Suddenly being named, Shuiyue was a little at a loss.
"You already know how to deal with this kind of creature, right? "
Gui Deng Shui Yue scratched the back of his head and replied tentatively: "If you catch it on land and burn it to ashes, you absolutely can't let it return to the sea with its legs and feet intact? "
"That's okay. "The butterfly ninja changed his voice, "Or gather all the octopuses in a pit and let Terumi Mei use acid to completely destroy them from the cellular level. This is the safest method of all. "
If you have seen Onoki's Dust Release, the safest way for the Butterfly Ninja is probably to eliminate this octopus at the molecular level.
"Wait a minute! "Gui Deng Shui Yue was inexplicably surprised and asked for proof: "Do you mean to let me go back? "
As long as he's not sitting in the hospital serving a chamber pot, he's willing to do anything.
Besides, catching an octopus with invisible abilities sounds like quite interesting.
"Your ability is just right for catching fish.
"In addition to you, Shiro, let's go back together. Ice Escape can be more effective when used in the sea."
This was something the Butterfly Ninja had carefully considered.
Since we are going to interfere with the mission of Kirigakure Village, it is best to choose some familiar faces.
"Miss Konan, do you think?"
Bai now works in the Government Affairs Center and is considered a subordinate of Konan, so the Butterfly Ninja will ask for her permission.
"Hydrangea can do his work first." Xiaonan nodded in agreement.
Although Xiaonan still doesn't think this matter will affect the Land of Rain, Bai seems to have family over the sea, and it would be unkind of her not to allow it.
"Then let's decide."
Momochi Zabuza was still in the Kingdom of Water, and it was no longer a day or two since Shiro wanted to go back and take a look. The Butterfly Ninja didn't think that the other party would refuse this proposal at all.
"You must do your best to eliminate this kind of creature. If necessary, you can ask the Great Slug Immortal for help." "
Okay, I will inform him now!" After Gui Deng Shui Yue said that, he jumped out of the window and left.
"Not now!" Butterfly Ninja stopped him and looked to the other side, "Muichiro, before Shiro leaves, go find him to learn ice escape." "
Wait a minute..." Xiaonan felt a little abrupt after speaking. .
But having said it all, let's finish it: "Miss Shinobu, do you want to ask this child to go with you?"
That's the Kingdom of Water! Even though its reputation has improved in recent years, it is still in the Blood Mist.
She had been there once with Nagato and Madara, and had a very bad impression of the Kingdom of Water.
Xiaonan didn't know what Muichiro's strength was, but she only knew that this kid was not very nice to talk to. If he was sent to that place, he would definitely not receive any courtesy.
"No." The butterfly ninja certainly knew what Xiaonan was worried about, "Kiden Suigetsu said that those octopuses are from the country of waves. Then Muichiro and Genmi, you two, go over there and investigate.
" Which fish have problems, and to what extent, only people who have access to the world can do this.
Moreover, the country of Waves is isolated overseas and has poor resources, so the possibility of encountering ninjas is very small.
These two people had no experience fighting ninjas, but their personalities were very prone to conflicts, so it was a good choice to go there.
"Okay." Xuan Mi nodded. When he left the village for the first time, he was not as excited as he imagined because of the ghost blood.
However, he was quite grateful for his trust in Butterfly Ninja, so Xuanya secretly made up his mind to do things well this time.
"But as for Ice Release..." Muichiro stretched out his foot and stepped on the arm and foot that was thrown on the ground. The latter was quickly frozen hard by a layer of frost, "I have already learned it."
Yakushi Kabuto's pupils shrank slightly. Although Ice Release is a synthetic type of blood successor, and its owners are not rare, it has only been a few days since you came to the Kingdom of Rain? Can you actually synthesize a kind of blood inheritance limit?
Butterfly Ninja had already expected it, and nodded gently: "In this case, you can have a good rest tonight..."
"Miss Ninja, I have a proposal." Xiaonan suddenly spoke.
"Please tell me." Butterfly Ninja was afraid that Konan would say something that shouldn't let Muichiro go out at this time.
"Why don't you just leave this child to me this afternoon and evening."
Xiaonan didn't know how much courage she mustered up to say this, "I think he is not only on Ice Escape, but also on God's Paper He is very talented in this technique.
"Although this technique itself is not as powerful as Blood Succession Limit, it is more versatile in its versatility and has many variations that can cope with various crises.
"On the other hand, I want to see how far this child can learn..."
She had already figured it out.
Seeing the abnormal state of Butterfly Ninja today, it was inappropriate to discuss Muichiro's matter with her.
It would be better to take this opportunity, firstly, to teach Wuichiro more ways to protect himself; secondly, when they get along, she can also find out the origin of this child.
Once the matter is just a mistake, this will save you from speaking rashly and leaving a bad impression on the Butterfly Ninja.
On the other side, Butterfly Shinobi was silent for nearly ten seconds.
It wasn't until Xiaonan's nervous heartbeat almost shook the paper flowers off her chest that she said, "Muichiro, you decide for yourself." "
Origami is fun." Muichiro didn't answer clearly whether he was willing, but " "Very interesting" are enough to make Xiaonan's heart burst with joy.
"So be it."
The butterfly ninja knew that nothing was more important than the blood of Hidan on the other side of the sea.
She just wants these two people to get along without being too awkward. "Everyone, go get ready. We will meet outside Yuyin Village at eight o'clock tomorrow. Yakushi Kabuto, please stay for a while."
Soon, everyone jumped out of the window. After leaving the house, there were only two fake smile geniuses left in the office.
"I decided to do some experiments with Hidan."
The butterfly ninja sat behind the desk, and Kabuto Yakushi stood opposite her.
"Please go back and look for old information, and then take a rest, because you may stay up all night tonight. If you doze off, I will be very troubled." "
Since it is something of interest, just thinking about it I can't fall asleep anymore."
Kabuto Yakushi made no secret of his interest in Hidan.
"However, when it comes to the topic of sleep... I am very curious about how Uchiha Giyuu would react if he knew what happened today.
"After all, whether it was intentional or not, the shark escaped from him. . "
..."
Butterfly Ninja's expression has not changed, but he is actually having a headache.
Since Giyuu opened his Sharingan all day long to accept his emotions, his whole temperament has improved greatly.
In Muichiro's words To describe it, the righteous hero in the previous life looked like a lifeless ornament, but this time when we met, he looked like a mimosa-like plant - I can't say that it was full of vitality, but at least it had some life and no longer looked like a mimosa. A walking corpse.
If Hidan's blood only infected animals in the sea, then everything would be fine. Giyuu would probably only blame himself for affecting the lives of fishermen for a while.
But once a human becomes a monster like an evil cultist because of this , even if someone dies, then she doesn't know what will happen.
"Please go out first. "
Hearing the hint of tiredness in Butterfly Ninja's voice, Yakushi Kabuto bowed slightly and left.
Butterfly sat there forlornly, but her brain was spinning at high speed like the propeller of an airplane.
About five minutes later, she had With the idea, the seal channeled Anjuro's crow, Kaname.
She first briefly told Kaname about the octopus plague in the Kingdom of Water, and then explained her purpose of summoning it:
"The Kingdom of Iron is a coastal peninsula. , it should also be a country where seafood is the main food.
"Tell Anjurou and ask him to investigate the seafood markets in the major cities of the Iron Kingdom to see if there are any fish with abnormal development.
"In addition, ask him to pay attention to whether there has been a recent increase in patients diagnosed with rabies, delirium and other mental illnesses in the local area. Case. Especially those with money. "
The situation in the ninja world is a bit like the neon in ancient times. Many upper classes do not eat the meat of four-legged beasts, so they eat delicious raw fish sashimi instead.
Most ordinary people eat fish grilled, and this is In fact, there is no such big hidden danger.
"Yes. "Kaname Kaname knew the seriousness, and after making sure he remembered every word of Butterfly Ninja, he asked: "Is there anything else I need to convey to Lord Anjuro? "
The last thing..."
Butterfly Ninja thought about it for a while before deciding: "When Anjuro has finished handling these matters, ask him to come back as soon as possible to guard Amegakure Village on my behalf." I... need to go out. "
"yes! "To turn into a ball of smoke and disappear without a trace, Butterfly Ren stood up and slowly walked to the window to look at the sky.
Unfortunately, today, like most days, the sun could not be seen.
Because he had to be on guard against the one named "Jue" in Xiao Nan's mouth. One of the creatures, she and Anjuro, must guard here.
Anjuro can feel Zetsu's malice through the nine-tailed chakra borrowed from Uzumaki Naruto.
As for the butterfly ninja, he can learn about it at any time through the communication between the insects. Strange creatures appear around every corner.
For the past three years, the Butterfly Ninja has been guarding the Amegakure Village, while Anjuro is like Helios's Sun Chariot, touring the entire Ninja world.
But this time, she had to switch roles.
Going on a business trip for about ten days...
