Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

Chapter 15

"So this isn't the real wet bone forest?"

Nagato couldn't help but sigh when he thought about his previous request, which was just to see the slug's true form.

It seems that he was hasty and took it for granted that the slug's body was the place where he practiced immortality.

"The art of psychic."

Nagato channeled the Cerberus to his feet, and waited for Konan, the slug split body, and the Paynes carrying the hostages to get behind the Cerberus.Nagato controlled the hellhound, and the group of people rushed in the direction pointed by the slug split body.

There seemed to be the deepest part of the swamp.

Along the way, Nagato and Konan gradually couldn't see a single living creature belonging to the swamp. In their ears, they could only hear the quiet sound of the hellhound gathering chakra at its feet and then running on the ground.

The bare tree trunks that I had seen when entering the swamp became even more twisted and eerie here.The spiral grew, like painful arms stretching out from the ground, extending towards the sky in a silent roar.

This weird atmosphere made Konan's expression change, and Nagato also frowned in confusion.

Although he is a time traveler, he has no information about Shigu Forest and does not know what kind of place the real Shigu Forest is.

Looking at the weird scenes all around as he went deep into the swamp, he thought of how the Slug Immortal had been saying that he was seeking death. He was obviously hostile to him, but strangely had no objection to his learning of magic.An ominous premonition gradually arose in Nagato's heart.

The hellhound didn't know the thoughts of its master on its back, so it ran all the way and soon passed the stone tablet with the words "Moist Bone Forest" engraved on it.At this time, the split body of the slug took the initiative to speak: "Stop here first and put Lady Tsunade down. You can't bring Lady Tsunade in."

Nagato opened his eyes and looked around. At this time, the surrounding air was filled with obvious acid mist, which turned into a faint green.

This is such a sweet air, full of forgiveness. Fortunately, Nagato has been single all his life.

"What do you mean? Then why can we go in?" Xiaonan couldn't help it. She felt that Nagato might have been deceived by someone again.

Why add another word? Emmmmm, in short, in Xiaonan's understanding, Nagato is not that smart.

"If you want to learn magic, you have to go in." Slug replied.I don’t know why, but even though this bug has no face, its tone of voice is very cute and pleasant.But Nagato still felt a sense of joy in others' misfortune from it.

Slug continued, "If you give up learning magic, I won't object."

Nagato took a deep breath of the forgiving air and asked the key question: "Slug, tell me, how many people have learned the magic of Shigulin before?"

Xiao Nan stared at the little slug closely to see if it was lying.

"A lot." Slug answered simply, without any hesitation.

"How many people have learned magic?"

"zero."

"Huh?" Nagato felt that he had heard wrongly.

"Zero." Slug repeated again.

Xiaonan's face suddenly darkened, and then asked: "What happened to those who did not learn the magic of immortality in the end."

This time, the slug did not speak, but extended its tentacles to a skeleton not far away.

Nagato and Konan were both a little stunned. The meaning of "slug" is very simple. No one has learned it, and everyone who has not learned it is dead. Shit Bone Forest, Shit Bone Forest, does the word "bone" in it actually mean this?

Xiaonan's face suddenly darkened: "You mean, all the people who came here to learn the magic of immortality died?"

Looking at her like that, it seemed like she was about to take out the detonating charm. Nagato on the side was really worried about the slug.

"This is your own choice." Slug replied softly, without any emotion in his voice.

The immortals in these so-called holy places seem to be like this. They don't refuse anyone who comes to learn the magic of immortality, and they don't care whether they live or die. They have a completely cold-looking attitude.

Of course, except Ming Taizi's Miaomu Mountain, Miaomu Mountain is even more excessive and is completely based on people's orders.

If ordinary people go to Miaomu Mountain to learn celestial arts, they will of course not care about life or death. They will love whatever they want. Turning into a stone toad statue is their best destination.

But if the person who went to Miaomu Mountain to learn celestial arts was Jiraiya, Naruto was the one with such connections.Then Toad Fukasaku would accompany them throughout the whole process. If there was a slight sign of natural energy disorder in the body, he would immediately use a stick to help them expel the natural energy.It may not be possible to learn fairy art in the end, but it will definitely not become a stone statue.

"You..." Slug's attitude made Xiaonan a little angry. He was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Nagato.

"Xonan, you and Pain stay here."

After thinking for a while, Nagato made up his mind.

Whether it is Longdi Cave or Miaomu Mountain, I am afraid that he will not be welcome to learn immortal arts.Ryūchi Cave has chosen ninjas from Orochimaru's lineage, and Myobokuyama is the one he wants to eradicate.Moreover, neither of these two places could be reached in a hurry. Compared with this, Shigu Forest was already his only choice.

At this point in time, the Five Kage Conference is probably already being prepared, and the Akatsuki organization has become the target of public criticism in the ninja world.He didn't have time to prepare a perfect strategy. If he wanted to learn the magic, he could only give it a go.

Thinking of this, Nagato channeled the invisible lizard and let it protect Xiaonan. He gave a decisive order to Xiaonan: "I will go in alone with the Cerberus, and then tell you the situation inside through the way of heaven."

Raising his left hand to stop Konan's retort, Nagato looked at Slug again: "If I can't control Pain due to my training, it's up to you to find a way to make Konan believe that I'm still alive."

"Huh? Why should I do this?" Slug was a little confused.

Nagato smiled: "Because I have to learn senjutsu, and if I die, Konan will blow up this place with 6000 billion detonating charms."

······
This is really shocking news. Is this human being crazy? 6000 billion?Does he know what he's talking about?The whole slug is in bad shape. I wonder if some artistic master has come to its home?
As if he knew the suspicion in the slug's heart, Nagato said: "Xiaonan, show your detonating talisman to this bug."

Konan glared at the slug, nodded to Nagato, and then, the sky was filled with dense detonating charms.

That quantity is overwhelming and persuasive.

The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop for a while, and the atmosphere was so tense that it almost solidified.

The split body of the slug remained silent, as if it was under some kind of petrification magic.

Just when Nagato thought it was asleep, the voice of Slug Sage's surprise rang out from all around: "There are really 6000 billion pictures!"

For such a long time, this big bug has been counting the number of detonating symbols in the sky?
Nagato's head was full of question marks, and the picture of the slug fairy splitting into countless small slugs, and everyone counting the number of detonating symbols in the sky couldn't help appearing in his mind.

"Xiaonan, you can put the detonating charm away."

After seeing that Slug had fully understood what inhumanity was, Nagato gave an order.

He was scared when he looked at so many detonating symbols. What if there was something wrong with the quality of any one of them and they suddenly exploded together?
Xiao Nan nodded, used the paper escape to put away the detonating talisman, and glared at the little slug again.

Hum, with so many detonating symbols exploding together, even if the big bug itself can't be killed, its nest can still be blown up. I asked him if he was afraid of this bug.
