Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

What does the soul look like?

Whether it was in his previous life or this life, Hatake Akira had never seen it before.

However, with the help of Orochimaru, Hatake Akira's eyes were opened today!

When the metal gate slowly opened, a chill that rushed straight to the sky swept through Hatake Akira's body.

Then, a foggy scene appeared in front of Hatake Akira. Looking up, he could see a series of vague and eerie shadows floating around in the transparent "glass" prison behind the metal gate.

"this……"

Even Hatake Akira, who had seen many big scenes, was also shocked by the eerie and strange sight in front of him.

"Orochimaru, how many souls have you bound inside?"

"Not much, just a little over two hundred."

"More than two hundred? Just pay it back?" Akira Hatake couldn't help but raise his voice, "How did you do it?!"

"It's very simple."

Orochimaru was happy to explain Hatake Akira's doubts, and he liked to see Hatake Akira look like he had never seen the world.

"Use the reincarnation of the filthy soil to pull the soul of the deceased out of the pure land, imprison the deceased reincarnated in the filthy soil in this room, and finally contact the reincarnation of the filthy soil, then the soul of the deceased will not be able to return to the pure land."

"It has to be you."

Hatake Akira has always admired Orochimaru's scientific research ability, and now he naturally doesn't hesitate to praise him, "And I didn't expect that it only took you less than half a year to master the art of reincarnation."

"That's ridiculous."

Orochimaru's sudden modesty caught Hatake Akira off guard, "The second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama is indeed a genius no less than myself. It is not easy to learn the filthy reincarnation he developed."

"I just followed the instructions of the gourd and strictly followed the many steps set by Senju Tobirama to use the dirty soil to reincarnate."

"If I can't master the reincarnation in the shortest time by copying it, then wouldn't I become a waste?"

"But even so, your talent is already terrifying..." Hatake Akira still felt that Orochimaru was a little presumptuous, and quickly added after Orochimaru finished speaking.

"No, that's not what I'm after."

Orochimaru still shook his head, "The Earth Reincarnation developed by the Nidaime is not perfect. I still have a long way to go before I can fully explore the potential of this technique."

"The pursuit of perfection and essence is my true pursuit."

"If it doesn't reach this level, everything I do is rubbish and cannot be accepted by me."

"Okay, you win!"

Akira Hatake is a little helpless because perfectionist people are troublesome.

Decisively giving up the topic, Hatake Akira returned his attention to the transparent "glass" prison in front of him.

"Orochimaru, the material of this prison is..."

"It's crystal."

Orochimaru stretched out his hand and knocked on the crystal wall of the transparent prison, attracting the attention of many imprisoned souls. "And it is a crystal formed by chakra crystallization."

"Me!"

Hatake Akira couldn't help his eyelids twitching again, Orochimaru was really such a waste!

Chakra crystal, also known as chakra crystal.

If broken down, chakra crystals can be roughly divided into two types.

The first is the main material used to create the Thunder God Sword used by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. The total amount of chakra and the purity of chakra contained in this chakra crystal have reached a very terrifying threshold.

The second type of chakra crystal, although it also contains a trace amount of chakra inside, it has a lot of impurities inside and is of little practical use. It can only be used as a decoration.

But even so, the value of this lowest-end chakra crystal is equivalent to gold.

In other words, apart from chakra metal, which has excellent chakra conductivity, chakra crystals are the second most expensive mineral for ninjas.

If you include the heaven-defying chakra crystal on the Thunder God's Sword, then the value of rare minerals such as chakra metal will have to drop even further.

"How much did you spend to build this chakra crystal prison?"

"Not much, less than 300 million." Orochimaru seemed to have no concept of money, as if they were just a series of cheap numbers, "They are just some defective products with little practical value. They are best used to imprison the soul body."

"You really don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive!"

The veins on Hatake Akira's forehead bulged, "Do you know what the village's total fiscal revenue is for a year?!"

"Not sure."

"Then let me tell you, it's 7 billion taels!" Hatake Akira said in a high voice, "You alone have spent more than 1/7 of the village's total fiscal revenue this year!"

"Okay, I get it now."

Orochimaru was indifferent to this figure, "Don't we still have war reparations from the four major countries? Compared with those war reparations, my expenditure is not worth mentioning, right?"

"this……"

Hatake Akira's momentum weakened, "Although you are right, if you continue to burn money at this rate, the village really can't afford it!"

"It's easy to solve."

Orochimaru tilted his head, not sure if he really didn't understand or if he did it on purpose, "Just continue to squeeze the benefits of the four major countries. I think they shouldn't dare to say anything."

"I……"

Hatake Ming opened his mouth, but he swallowed the rebuttal words as soon as they reached his lips. What Orochimaru said actually made sense.

"Let's save some money first."

Hatake Akira had some ideas in his mind to continue to squeeze the four major countries, but the plan was not yet mature and could not be implemented immediately. He could only stabilize Orochimaru in a good manner.

"Whenever the four major countries are completely annexed, you can build as much as you like!"

"Can."

Orochimaru nodded, and then took the initiative to change the topic.

"Mingjun, would you like to see some of your old friends?"

"Old friend?" Hatake Akira turned to look at the chakra crystal prison. After careful analysis, he actually found some familiar faces inside.

"We are indeed old friends..."

In the Chakra Crystal Prison, Akira Hatake saw the Fourth Generation Raikage, A, Kirabi, Loess, Chiyo, East Dead Man, One-Tailed Jinchuuriki Fenfu, Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki Han... and so on. A powerful ninja who died at the hands of Akira Hatake during the battle.

Following Orochimaru's movements, Hatake Akira reached out and knocked on the crystal wall of the chakra crystal prison, receiving the attention of a group of souls.

call,

call,

call!

Some harsh sounds came from the prison, and the souls of the strong men who died at the hands of Hatake Akira gathered around after seeing Hatake Akira.

"Hatake Akira!"

"Damn it, I'm dead and I can still see you!"

"...I will have no peace even after I die..."

"Hatake Akira, I'm going to kill you!"

A series of eerie sounds came from the prison, which made Orochimaru reach out to poke Hatake Akira's shoulder teasingly.

"Mingjun, it can be seen that you are really popular with them."

"If you can speak, just say a few more words." Hatake Akira glanced at Orochimaru, "Where is Nohara Rin? Why didn't I see her?"

"And I haven't seen the God of Death you mentioned either."

"There's no rush." ​​Orochimaru was quite able to keep his composure, "Mingjun, please come with me."

Orochimaru led Hatake Akira forward and around to the other side of the chakra crystal prison.

Pointing to a small door embedded in the crystal wall, Orochimaru looked back at Hatake Akira and said, "Aki-kun, are you interested in going in with me?"

"Of course I'm interested."

Hatake Akira nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, the souls of the ninjas who had died in Hatake Akira's hands began to float around again and gathered near Hatake Akira.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hatake Akira curled his lips and couldn't help but raise his middle finger towards the souls of these ninjas.

Akira Hatake was not afraid of them at all when they were alive. After their death, only their souls were left, and Akira Hatake had no reason to be afraid of them.

It's just the incompetent rage of some losers, and Akira Hatake will not tolerate them.

As Orochimaru opened the small door, a dark wind rushed out from the chakra crystal prison.

At the same time, bursts of ghostly cries and howling sounds were heard, causing Hatake Akira to have a headache for a moment.

Even if you become a soul after death, you will not be able to survive!

"Orochimaru, haven't you ever told them that they look like this and it's hard to hear them scream?"

"Haha, what can I do if I tell them?"

Orochimaru smiled contemptuously, "These soul bodies can only do this now."

"If they are not given an outlet to vent, too much negative emotions will affect the overall stability of this prison."

"so……?"

"You have to come here often." Orochimaru glanced at Hatake Akira, with a somewhat unscrupulous smile on his face.

"Orochimaru, I really can't laugh at this kind of joke."

Hatake Akira curled his lips, said something and then stopped talking, followed Orochimaru and continued walking forward.

After walking only a dozen steps, Orochimaru stopped next to a coffin, pointed directly at the coffin and said to Hatake Akira, "Aki-kun, there is Nohara Rin inside."

"Is Nohara Lin's soul still in the state of reincarnation?"

Hatake Akira knew about the technique of filthy earth reincarnation. Although he had not studied it in detail, he more or less knew some of the methods and principles of filthy earth reincarnation.

"indeed so."

Orochimaru nodded, "I have tried to imprison Nohara Lin's soul body in this cage, and I have also tried to forcibly put her soul body back into her still alive body."

"But unfortunately, for some unknown reason, I failed."

"Have you found the reason?" Hatake Akira asked.

"If you find it, I won't come looking for you." Orochimaru looked at Hatake Akira, "I thought of a second way to resurrect Nohara Rin besides this method."

"However, this method of resurrecting Nohara Lin is a bit inhumane. I still plan to ask your opinion first before deciding whether to implement it."

Akira Hatake was somewhat surprised that Orochimaru suddenly started to be gentle.

With Orochimaru's character, he is not someone who takes human life seriously. For the sake of his scientific research career, Orochimaru can do anything, including but not limited to turning himself into a woman...

"Tell me."

After a brief period of surprise, Hatake Akira decided not to ask the reason yet, "Let me hear how inhumane it is."

"hehe."

Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled, "You think too much, Mingjun."

Orochimaru shook his head and began to speak, "Mingjun, do you remember a secret technique recorded in the sealed book of Sunagakure Village?"

"Secret technique?"

An idea suddenly flashed in Hatake Akira's heart, "You mean... the reincarnation technique of Sunagakure Village?"

"Yes, that's the technique."

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Although that old guy Chiyo is not very strong, she has developed an incredible ninjutsu."

"The technique of reincarnation is the most perfect resurrection ninjutsu I have ever seen, but the shortcomings of this technique are also obvious."

"If you want to use reincarnation to resurrect the dead, in addition to having extremely strong strength and abundant chakra, you also need to trade your life for your life."

"I think it is difficult for a person with such strength to sacrifice his life for someone who is insignificant to him."

"More importantly, even if we can force a powerful ninja to give up his life, the technique of reincarnation must be performed with the complete consent of the user before it can be successfully performed."

"Combining the above points, the actual conditions for the art of reincarnation are very harsh. The only person who suits this condition may be you, Mingjun..."

"But after thinking about it, risking Mingjun's life for a little-known person is more or less worth the loss."

"So...I have developed a new method."

Orochimaru pointed to the middle of his forehead, "Mingjun, when an outsider puts their finger close to the middle of your forehead, you will feel a strong sense of discomfort and crisis."

“Because that’s where your soul is and where your thinking consciousness is, so when others touch or come close to this part, people will have such an extreme reaction.”

"Then after destroying this part, will the person's soul be taken out while the person's body is still alive?"

"If after taking it out, the souls of others are pressed into this soulless shell, will the souls of others be reborn in this way?"

"If you are reborn, will someone else's soul occupy someone else's body and gain everything from this body?"

"All this is unknown and uncertain, but what is certain is that my idea is not groundless."

Orochimaru pointed to a corner in the chakra crystal prison, "Mingjun, the few souls staying in that corner are my experimental subjects to test this idea."

"You've already started human trials?!"

Hatake Akira raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he felt in his heart.

"Don't worry." Orochimaru smiled softly, "My experimental subjects are all damned death row prisoners, people who have committed heinous crimes."

"They will be executed sooner or later anyway, so why not let them use their sinful lives to make some contribution to my research before they die."

"..."

Hatake Akira fell silent and did not comment too much on Orochimaru's words.

After thinking for a while, Hatake Akira suddenly realized, was this the prototype of Orochimaru's forbidden art of immortality and reincarnation?

"Is this technique called the technique of reincarnation?"

"Fushi Reincarnation?!" Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic, "Mingjun, you are really a master at naming. I think this is the right name for the forbidden technique I want to develop next."

"this……"

Hatake Akira didn't expect things to be so dramatic. He actually became the name of this forbidden technique of "seizing the body".

"Mingjun, I wonder if you mind if I use the name you just mentioned, and if you mind if I use some hostile ninjas to conduct this experiment?"

"You can name the technique whatever you want."

Akira Hatake agreed with Orochimaru's first question, "But regarding your second question, I would like to ask you, aren't there enough death row prisoners in the Fire Country for you?"

"It's not enough, it's long been enough." Orochimaru shook his head, "Scientific research requires payment, and the price paid is quite high. All the prisoners on death row have died long ago..."

"this……"

Hatake Akira was in a dilemma, but after thinking about it for a while, he made up his mind. He nodded slightly towards Orochimaru.
