Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 270 Nine Songs

Shikamaru was wearing a white coat. While looking at the data of the instrument in front of him, he continued to write and draw in his notebook, and occasionally observed the work progress in the laboratory.

Beside him, there are several companions who are exactly the same in appearance and even in the same clothes, busy working, or using microscopes to observe, or similarly recording data.The ninjutsu of shadow clone can not only be used for fighting, but also a very practical skill for work. Only with this ninjutsu, Shikamaru can preside over a research work without an assistant , and even because of the mutual understanding, the efficiency is higher. From the management coordination to the tea delivery, one person can be competent. For Shikamaru who has always been a bit monopolistic about the experimental work, it is really a blessing.

"Sample No. [-] died!" An exclamation suddenly sounded, and Shikamaru, who was making records in his notebook, paused and hurried to a corner of the laboratory, where there was a metal table, except for a few large ones on the table. In addition to the instruments, the most conspicuous thing is a group of neatly arranged glass containers, which contain unknown liquids, which are placed on a small shelf, and the shelves are labeled separately.

Shikamaru, White Snake, Xianglin, Tianzang, Zhujian, Chongwu, Suigetsu, Junmaro, Ningci....

"The cells are dead again, and it's useless to provide chakra." The shadow clone who had shouted before was fiddling with a microscope at this time. The repulsiveness between the gene and the others is too great, it is a waste of experiment time, I suggest that they be eliminated."

"Woo." Hearing this, Shikamaru frowned and pondered for a while. The thinking mode of the shadow clone came from his body, and what the other party said at this time was also what he thought in his heart.

Orochimaru has already made a lot of explorations on human experiments, and even achieved the achievement of a more perfect fusion of white phosphorus Orochi and the human body. It has always used this power on itself, and also combined the genes of the first generation of Naruto Senjujuma with the human body. experience, and successfully used the Chongwu curse seal to transform the human body.

These experimental data were obtained by Shikamaru, which can save him a lot of detours and save a lot of time. Now he has Tianzang as a sample, so he can observe at any time, so that the gene between the columns is no longer so repulsive. As long as he spends some more time, with his ability, he can completely clone a "self" that combines the power of the white snake and the ability of wood escape in a short period of time, but he hopes to make this body more perfect. In addition to the abilities of Kaorin, Ningji, Kimaro and Mizutsuki, it seems that it takes enough time to succeed, but Shikamaru is short of time now.

Xianglin's Uzumaki family genes and Zhujian genes are not so repulsive and can be used, but the abilities of Junmalu, Ri Xiangningci, and Guideng Shuiyue are only dispensable. If it is to save time, it is also helpless to discard them. .

"Exclude Kimomaro, Ri Xiangningji, and Guideng Shuiyue from the list." Shikamaru shook his head and said: "First, make sure to cultivate the first embryo with the ability of wood escape."

…………

Not to mention the busy research work in the laboratory, Shikamaru has more than that in a day. Since there is no risk of being overwhelmed, he doesn't mind doing other work while conducting experiments.

The sunlight swayed in through the dense forest branches and leaves, and shone on the ground, forming patches of light spots. Shikamaru carefully avoided these, and carefully looked at the list in his hand. Not far behind him was Neji standing with his hands down.

"Do you have any suggestions?" After a long time, Shikamaru finally looked up from the long list and asked Neji.Except for Shigego and Kaorin in Otonin Village, Shikamaru has never trusted anyone else. Compared with the Konoha ninjas who have no roots here and have known him for a long time, these Otoshimaru enslaved by Oshemaru Shinobu is cunning and cruel, and Shikamaru has only temporarily suppressed them until now, without assigning them any tasks. Several principals were also killed by Shikamaru, and then let Konoha people manage.

It doesn't matter if a few Xiaoqiang's methods are unfamiliar, Shikamaru's strength is enough to ensure that any problems can be calmed down, as long as they can exercise the talents of a few people, it will be worthwhile.

"Tateyama Castle should be a good place." After hearing Shikamaru's words, Neji thought for a moment, and replied: "The lord of the city, Uesugi Qingji, has mediocre talents, and he can barely be regarded as a Buddhist believer. It also shows that he is not an atheist, and the social contradictions there have not yet reached a peak, and people have not become numb and lost the ability to think in order to survive, so as a starting point, it should be a good start.”

"There are no ninjas in the city, and they can be cleaned up with a little effort." Ri continued to Ningci, but at this moment, a burst of singing suddenly wafted from the house not far from the two:

We are children of nature with God the Father in our hearts.

Sow the seeds of joy and enjoy the grace of nature.

Open your arms and embrace the new day.

A new morning, a new night, a new beginning.

A new world, a new hope, a new grace.

We are children of the world, and morality is in our hearts.

Sow the seeds of faith, and let us break through the darkness, through the trials...  

Some of the teenagers taken in from all over the country are still in the stage of changing their voices, and there may be hoarse noises in their immature singing voices, but there is no doubt that there is a pious emotion in the voices of these people, and the voices of dozens of people are neat Uniform, seems to be pregnant with indomitable confidence, although it is not loud, it still shocks the listeners.

"...." It was not the first time that Ri Xiangning heard these teenagers singing in unison, but every time when the singing sounded, he would listen carefully.

The lyrics are simple and catchy, the tune is beautiful, and the twists are not too big, so it is easy to learn. Shikamaru and Xianglin really put a lot of thought into it.

Shikamaru smiled slightly. Along with the singing, he could feel a much stronger energy than usual coming from the hearts of many believers in the house. This is faith, or the power of spiritual energy, pouring into his mind , making the chakra in Shikamaru grow stronger.

The singing gradually fell behind, and Shikamaru also recovered from the state of absorbing faith, glanced at the long list in his hand, and said to Ningji: "In this case, choose Tateyama Castle, and you take a few people to conquer All the samurai and ninjas there are wiped out, especially the cult organization, and after my experiment has progressed, I will start the trek."

…………

Uchida was kneeling on the ground, praying in a low voice to the main wooden statue on the wooden table in front of him, with a devout and respectful expression.The white robe on his body was patched in some places, but it was very clean. It was inconvenient to work with this clothes, but Uchida Zheng didn't think about taking it off or changing it.

After praying, Uchida pressed his right hand on the heart of his left chest and bowed to the wooden statue. A circle the size of a fist was sealed with green silk thread on the clothing he pressed with his right hand, which implied natural reincarnation. Indicates that he is a low-level trainee priest who is easy to teach.

After Uchida finished praying, he stood up. The futon under him was already very worn out, which made him sigh.

"I'm going to ask someone to help me sew it up again." Uchida was looking at the dilapidated place on the futon, muttering to himself, and then looked around the house, as far as he could see, it was really poor.

Half a month ago, the devout faith of Uchida and his six companions was finally recognized by the master, and he established a slight connection with the master. He was able to perform some simple divine arts, and he was regarded as a trainee priest. preached in several villages.

Uchida was not surprised when he was not sent to the city to make friends with dignitaries and dignitaries with the power of magic. True gods don't care about money and power in the mortal world. Only those false gods and evil gods will be loyal to making money. For God, there is no difference between a pawn and a great name of a country, not to mention those who want to treat people as animals, bear the benefits of all peoples, but don't think about rewards, which violates the teachings of Yijiao and destroys the relationship between the rulers and the people in the country. The continuation of karma and reincarnation, when this kind of oppression reaches the extreme, is the time when the order is shattered.

Just thinking of this, Uchida couldn't help but clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, remembered the teachings, and suppressed the anger in his heart just now. The duty of the Lord Priest is not to destroy, but to give hope to mankind. That's why he and other apprentice priests were sent to In the countryside, use the knowledge and magic learned at the base to help ordinary people.

In agricultural society, farmers are the most common and basic laborers. Correspondingly, they have also become the natural oppressed. Therefore, life in the village is poor and hard, but Uchida is not uncomfortable at all. Before teaching, they were all orphans without father or mother, either abandoned or trafficked. They were already considered lucky. Uchida had witnessed the scene of Yi Zi cannibalizing each other with his own eyes, which also made him more familiar with the world today. Feeling hopeless, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the church. Now the task assigned by the chief priest is exactly what Uchida wanted.

Although what I have learned in the base for a few months is superficial agricultural and medical knowledge, for those low-level farmers who have never learned to write their own names in their entire lives, they can be regarded as "reading poetry and books". When he arrived, the people in the village were a little vigilant and hostile, but when he helped the sick farmers who could not afford medical treatment for free, and even taught them some farming knowledge, he gradually resolved the hostility of the villagers, but most people still had some feelings for him. Keep a respectful distance, Uchida is currently trying to integrate into them, so that he usually works with them.

It's just that there seems to be oppressors and oppressed everywhere in this world. Even in this small village, there is a village that is oppressing the township. Now this person seems to be vigilant and hostile to Uchida Masa, trying to make things difficult for him , or even drive him away.

Uchida was thinking about a solution. He wanted to help the villagers dig canals and build water trucks, but this kind of action would definitely require him to have a high prestige in the hearts of the villagers, and the village magistrate would definitely not just sit idly by.

He was thinking about something on his mind, so he opened the door absent-mindedly. There was a piercing noise from the dilapidated wooden door, which startled a little boy wandering outside.

"What's the matter, Hiramaru?" Uchida was showing a gentle smile. He could feel the talent of this child, and he had always wanted to bring him to the base to be cultivated by the church. It's a pity that the situation here has just started, and now he really can't get rid of it. body.

"..." The little boy named Hiramaru looked at Uchida Masa, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly called out, "Run!"

Uchida felt a chill in his heart, and wanted to hold Hiramaru and run into the house behind him, but just as he had time to move, several kunai pierced the air, pierced his left leg and right arm, and made him fall to the ground .

…………

Almost at the same time that Uchida was being attacked, in the central yang base of Otonin Village, Shikamaru, who was reading the materials left by Orochimaru, raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "There are really people who are not afraid of death!"
