In the depths of the forest, there were only a few scattered stars, and it was eerily quiet.
But for the dead, this kind of environment could actually prevent them from being disturbed.
After burying Hiruko, Garashi activated his perception barrier and unsealed the Shinigami's mask from the scroll he carried with him.
His right hand brushed the mask, and a soulless spirit floated out of it.
The reason he left the tent a few steps behind Mizuki was to collect Hiruko's soul.
After all, Hiruko was a rare scientific talent in the ninja world, it would be a pity if he died just like that.
Hiruko, who had just recovered from the dead, didn't understand the situation and asked in confusion, "Is this the Underworld?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but this is still the modern world."
A gentle voice came from the side, waking Hiruko up from his stupor.
Turning around, Hiruko exclaimed in disbelief, "Why are you here?"
Garashi smiled gently, "What's the matter, surprised to see me?"
"I just didn't expect …" Hiruko squeezed out an ugly smile, "The Light of the Wood Leaf, who is said to be the embodiment of all beautiful words, would actually play with other people's souls!"
Garashi shook his head lightly, "I have no interest in playing with your soul, if I have to say, I should be fulfilling your wish."
"Fulfilling my wish?" Hiruko's soul trembled as he looked at Garashi with excitement, "You are willing to let me continue the experiment of the Onigiri Jutsu?"
Looking at Hiruko's excited expression, Garashi felt a little embarrassed.
It's one thing to squeeze out all the value of others when they were alive, but now he's not even letting them go after death, even the capitalists in his previous life were kinder than him.
However, for Hiruko, this should be considered a blessing … right?
Thinking of this, Garashi felt at ease. "I do want to borrow your ability, but in my opinion, your Onigiri Jutsu is not a success!"
Being criticized by a 'layman', Hiruko was furious, and he didn't care about the situation he was in, "What do you know? The Onigiri Jutsu is an ultimate ninjutsu that can transform an ordinary ninja into a perfect form! "
Garashi was not angry, and calmly discussed, "What is real perfection? Have you seen a real perfect ninja?"
Hiruko was suddenly speechless, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Have you ever seen a real perfect ninja?"
Garashi spread out his hands and said innocently, "I didn't say that I can transform into a perfect ninja!"
Hiruko was speechless, after a moment of silence, he said with some doubt mixed in his longing, "Immortal, able to learn all ninjutsu should be the perfect ninja, right?"
Garashi continued to bicker, "Then what makes you think that the Onigiri technique can grant immortality?"
"Alright, that's just my guess." The corner of Hiruko's eyes twitched, and he reluctantly admitted that he was suspected of false propaganda, but he still insisted.
"But this conjecture is not without basis, every ninja knows that Chakra is the combination of physical and spiritual energy, and the complete exhaustion of Chakra means death, so what if one absorbs Chakra from nature and reverts Chakra into physical and spiritual energy?"
Garashi asked with great interest, "Does it mean that one's vitality can also be replenished?"
Hiruko nodded excitedly, "Infinite vitality means that no matter what kind of fatal injury one receives, one can instantly recover. It's hard to say whether it will extend one's life, but it can definitely achieve the immortal body I mentioned before! "
Garashi nodded thoughtfully, "But what does this have to do with your Onigiri technique?"
Hiruko proudly said, "To achieve the immortal body, there are two requirements, one is to absorb Chakra from nature, and the second is to revert Chakra back to its original state, both of which require one to comprehend the essence of Chakra, and the Onigiri technique is to establish the relationship between the five elements in the body, and then comprehend the truth of all things!"
Seeing that Garashi seemed to be shocked by his words, Hiruko nodded with satisfaction, and then explained, "In fact, this is similar to the principle of Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Genkai Elimination, both of which are integrated with Chakra, but they are completely superior to the other two, because it contains the complete power of the five elements!"
Hiruko looked at Garashi proudly, waiting for the other party to be shocked, but what greeted him was a slightly disappointed sigh, "Only the five elements, no Yin and Yang?"
Hiruko frowned, "Are you kidding me? Yin and Yang are completely different attributes from the five elements, how can this be … "
Looking at the forest blooming in Garashi's palm, Hiruko muttered to himself in a daze, "Wood Release? No, I can feel it more clearly in my soul form, the power contained in it is clearly the Yang attribute of Chakra, right? "
"This is incredible, it's simply incomprehensible!" Hiruko muttered to himself, then looked at Garashi with a feverish gaze, "How did you do it?"
The forest in Garashi's palm quickly went through a cycle of life and death, then dissipated into the wind, "This is the result of my research on the Yin-Yang Release, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, I'm just showing you the correct path."
It had to be said that Blackie's body was truly mysterious.
In the past year, although he hadn't made any progress in the development of the Yin-Yang Release, his understanding of the Yin and Yang Releases had reached an extremely high level.
The result of his research on the Yin Release was reflected in the Shinigami's mask, while the result of his research on the Yang Release was the advancement of the Wood Release (False) to the Wood Release (True) stage.
Of course, this was also thanks to his proficiency in the Yin and Yang Releases.
"The correct path?" Hiruko wasn't disappointed, instead, he was very excited, "I really died for the right reason, if I didn't die, how could I come in contact with the truth of this world?"
Garashi nodded slightly, I told you this is a blessing!
"Since you didn't consider the fusion of the Yin Release, why did you take the Sharingan?"
Hiruko was silent for a moment, "The Kekkei Genkai of the five elements are the fusion of the two Chakra attributes, meeting the conditions of the five elements, it's reasonable to say that you only need three Kekkei Genkai."
"I took the Sharingan more for the final ritual. The final ritual is too important, I have to carefully control each Chakra in order to succeed, and to do this, I need to rely on the observation power of the Sharingan. "
"Is that so? I understand. " After a pause, Garashi asked again, "What is the principle of the three conditions of the ritual?"
"Completing the ritual requires a lot of Chakra, the only thing I can think of is to use the power of nature!" Hiruko explained, "According to my observation, the solar eclipse seems to be the time when Chakra is the most active in nature, as for Mount Sumeru, it's also the place with the highest concentration of Chakra I can find."
"Chakra is the most active?" Garashi secretly thought, "The moon is the product of the Rikudou Sennin's seal on Kaguya, will the seal weaken during the solar eclipse?"
Hiruko didn't know what Garashi was thinking, seeing that Garashi didn't speak, he continued, "The five elements Kekkei Genkai are easy to deal with, but the Yin Release Kekkei Genkai is the Dojutsu, and the Yang Release Kekkei Genkai is the Physique, it's been a long time since the Shinobi World has seen a Physique Kekkei Genkai that represents the Yang Release!"
"You don't have to worry about this, I will temporarily seal you and release you when the time is right." Garashi said in a deep voice.
"I understand." With that said, Hiruko took a deep look at Garashi, "Mastering the knowledge and mysteries beyond the Shinobi World, and even taking people like me under your banner, what do you want to do?"
Garashi smiled slightly, "Is this important?"
Hiruko was stunned for a moment, but he immediately smiled, "Indeed, it's not important, as long as I can continue my research, and let me see the complete form of the Ghost Germinal Jutsu with my own eyes, what do you want to do with me?"
"It's easy to deal with smart people." Garashi shrugged, "However, there is one thing I want to remind you, in order to keep this secret, I will change your identity and part of your memory, from now on, you will appear in this world with a new identity."
"A new identity?" Hiruko said calmly, "The name and appearance are nothing but a subsidiary product of oneself, as long as you follow your heart, it doesn't matter!"
