Chapter 162: Meat Shizuku, outside the body
After closing the system interface, he pondered for a moment, then activated his Kagura Mind's Eye, extending his perception range outward once again.
Instead of deliberately estimating the exact distance, he directly searched for Danzo's chakra. After failing to find any trace of him, he focused on sensing the vicinity of the Root base on the northwestern edge of Konoha.
"With the Illusionary Eyes, I can use them on Danzo. What Shisui couldn't do in the original story, I'll do now," Hoshigen Chisaku thought to himself.
"Danzo also has a Sharingan in his right eye, most likely a three-tomoe Sharingan, and very unlikely a Mangekyou Sharingan. But either way, he has likely already mastered Izanagi."
Xingyuan Qianshuo sensed and pondered at the same time.
Although his current strength is enough to crush his opponent, in order not to cause too much of a commotion, he still has to plan carefully and use a sneak attack as the main method.
Just then, another notification appeared on the system interface, interrupting his thoughts.
Main Quest 1: Become the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, progress 60%, reward: Zanpakuto: Kokujin-kake (Shikai) *1
"Huh? Retsu Unohana's Zanpakuto from Bleach?" Senju Hoshigen thought in surprise. "It only has a Shikai?"
After claiming the reward, a katana icon appeared in my inventory.
With a slight thought, a long, curved sword instantly appeared in his hand.
The scabbard is bluish-purple, the knife is round, and the handle is exquisitely dark red. A similarly dark red cord is tied to the scabbard.
"A fine knife."
At first glance, Xingyuan Qianshuo fell in love with the sword. The feel of it was completely different from the samurai sword he had bought for 60,000 taels of silver before.
The sword was drawn without a sound, with an incredibly smooth motion.
The silver-white blade gleamed with a cold light, its curve as gentle as a long, crescent moon.
Xingyuan Qianshuo swung his longsword, initially thinking he wouldn't be used to the arc, but unexpectedly found it surprisingly easy to use.
He looked around the room; it was clearly not a suitable place to test his sword, much less to perform his initial release.
He then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly appear in a wilderness hundreds of kilometers away from Konoha.
Using Kagura's Mind's Eye, she sensed that there were no powerful ninjas nearby.
So, in this desolate place, he swung his sword and practiced several basic sword techniques, almost instinctively adjusting his movements and sword stances to adapt to the curved Zanpakuto.
Perhaps it was because of the system's reward, but this knife suited him exceptionally well.
He didn't practice for long. After stopping, chakra surged in his palm and slowly flowed into the blade. The chakra transfer was extremely smooth.
He tried Wind Release, Lightning Release, Water Release, and Fire Release one by one, without any hindrance.
"As expected of a Zanpakuto from the Bleach world, even in its original form it is incredibly useful," Hoshigen Chisaku sighed inwardly.
He sheathed his sword, focused his mind, and sensed the Zanpakuto with his mind. After a moment, he understood the sword's Shikai incantation.
"Break free, Flesh Droplet!"
As the brief initial incantation was uttered, the blade instantly turned into mist and dissipated, transforming into a huge, flat, one-eyed monster.
It resembles a fish, with a light yellow bottom and two peculiar claws, each with three fingers, appearing slightly small compared to its enormous size.
The upper part is light green, with a brown eye at the front and a wide mouth below the eye.
Its wingspan is about 20 meters, and its body and slender tail together are about 30 meters long, with a thickness of nearly 5 meters.
The giant fish turned its eyes to look at Xingyuan Qianshuo to one side, and then turned to lean closer to him affectionately.
Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled slightly and reached out to stroke Rou Shizuku's head, feeling its smooth and warm texture.
The flesh-shaped sword, in its biological form, was quite obedient. Moreover, after reciting the Shikai incantation, he felt a subtle connection between his soul and the Zanpakuto.
Minashizuki is a biological type Zanpakuto. After its Shikai, it takes the form of a one-eyed fish. It can not only carry people in flight, but also heal the wounded by swallowing them and then spitting them out.
Although Xingyuan Qianshuo's own healing abilities are getting stronger and stronger, it's still good to have such an assistant.
He leaped onto the back of the fleshy creature, which was flat and wide, perfect for carrying people. He sat cross-legged, patted it lightly, and said, "Take off, fleshy creature."
The meat-eating creature instantly understood, and without uttering a sound, it leaped into the air with a flick of its claws. Its wings unfurled, a strange power surging within it, and it flew with remarkable stability.
"Not bad. Although I have two flight skills, Magnet Release: Gold Dust and Leaping Flight, this is still more convenient for manned flight."
Looking down at the land, there is a dirt road in the distance, with four or five horse-drawn carriages moving slowly.
Further away, there is a small town, about forty or fifty kilometers away.
"The speed isn't too fast; the normal cruising speed is about 50 kilometers per hour, and it can accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour, which is about the same as a ninja's speed."
"However, when encountering complex or unique terrain, the advantages of flight become very obvious. Moreover, the Minazuki can carry dozens of people, saving the ninjas' stamina, which is quite good."
He didn't fly for long, circling for less than two minutes, before commanding the flesh-dropping creature to fall.
With a slight thought, the one-eyed fish transformed back into mist, returned to its sheath, and reverted to its katana form.
Next, he conducted several more tests. The shadow clone can also use its Shikai; after the clone dissipates, the fish form reverts to a katana.
To release the Shikai, the scabbard must be used, just like resealing; the scabbard is an integral part of the Zanpakuto.
As for the treatment's effectiveness, he tested it on a hibernating black bear that he had "accidentally injured," and the results were quite good, although he may not have many opportunities to use it.
After the test was completed, he put the Zanpakuto back into his inventory.
Just then, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the mental space.
He immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, and in an instant, his consciousness sank into the spiritual world.
The space was bathed in a gentle, soft light, and most striking of all was a bubble-like structure in the center, shimmering with a seven-colored halo.
The bubble film was translucent, and a figure could be vaguely seen curled up inside.
His consciousness seemed to be split into two parts, connected to the human figure in the membrane.
Strangely, this state did not cause any discomfort; on the contrary, it felt like it was meant to be.
"Is it because my strength has increased significantly recently, and the nurturing time for the Divine Art: Body Outside the Body has been shortened?" Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered to himself.
A week ago, he used the Origin Scroll on the Perfect Shadow Clone Technique and obtained this divine technique. At the time, it was estimated that it would take two weeks to nurture, but now it has been completed ahead of schedule.
Under his watchful gaze, the bubble membrane slowly dissolved and dissipated, and the huddled figure stood up.
His facial features were exactly the same as his, equally handsome and outstanding.
But upon closer inspection, a hint of coldness appeared between his brows, and his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes revealed a sense of aloofness and indifference.
As the external body was fully nurtured, much information about this divine technique was integrated into his mind.
Xingyuan Qianshuo opened his eyes and sorted through this information.
Immediately, with a slight thought, the figure in the mental space "transformed from illusion to reality" and appeared in the wilderness, with its clothes also materializing at the same time.
He examined this "body outside himself" and at the same time saw himself through the other's perspective—the two shared vision and communicated with each other.
However, unlike the shadow clone which completely replicates the original consciousness, this external body incorporates a portion of his subjective consciousness.
That part of consciousness, however, leans precisely towards the "evil" side.
What he sensed from it was arrogance, domineering nature, fighting spirit, and conceit—
Especially as a transmigrator, Xingyuan Qianshuo subconsciously always looked down on the Naruto world, believing that he could control everything, and deep down he felt alienated and indifferent to the "natives" of the ninja world.
Even his feelings for Tsunade were mixed with lust, possessiveness, and a desire to exploit her.
These emotions, which he had subconsciously ignored or never paid attention to in the past, are now clearly revealed and reflected in detail under the connection of consciousness.
Xingyuan Qianshuo changed his mind and blocked the communication between consciousnesses.
In an instant, the world seemed to have changed.
Those "evil" thoughts disappeared, and my mind was at peace like never before.
Instead, his mind was filled with thoughts of compassion, tolerance, justice, gratitude, dedication, understanding, and communication—ideals that were considered "supremely virtuous and wise."
The Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninja Clan, using chakra to connect people's hearts; it was truly a saintly act.
Ashura is the most suitable successor of the Ninja Sect and deserves everyone's support and protection.
Indra was too domineering, emphasizing rules and efficiency at the expense of human kindness, and was too self-centered and prejudiced.
Hashirama Senju sold half of the Tailed Beasts to other countries, wholeheartedly pursuing peace. His ideals and actions were truly admirable.
He used to be able to view many things in the Naruto world dialectically, but now his thoughts completely leaned towards becoming a saint or a sage.
Although past beliefs still frantically warn him in his mind that this way of thinking is wrong, at the same time, he feels in his heart that he was wrong before and that he is right now.
He even suspects that if one remains in this psychological state for a long time, one's cognition will be completely distorted, and even rational thinking will lean towards the "good" side.
He tried to conjure up Tsunade's image in his mind, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
At this moment, Tsunade is his true bond in this Naruto world.
However, the next moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized that he actually felt no attraction to Tsunade's voluptuous figure.
Xingyuan Qianshuo shuddered and immediately removed the block.
After a moment of confusion, my consciousness finally returned to normal.
Recalling his earlier thoughts, he shook his head, finding it somewhat amusing—this was practically a "wise man's moment."
-
After laughing, a sense of lingering fear rose in my heart.
That kind of distorted, saintly way of thinking is really hard to correct. In that state, he felt he had achieved complete enlightenment and realized that what he thought was right yesterday was wrong today.
After experiencing the wonder of the body outside the body, Xingyuan Qianshuo began to ponder the origin of this divine technique.
The system reward did not explain the origin of the extra-body, so he had no way of knowing whether it belonged to Otsutsuki Shibakai or some indigenous deity.
So, what use is this divine art to that powerful being?
Is it merely about having an extra person to do the work? Or is it necessary to transfer one's own evil thoughts elsewhere?
He suddenly remembered the method of becoming a saint taught by the Daoist Hongjun in a prehistoric novel he had read in his previous life: severing the three corpses.
He looked at the external body and muttered to himself, "This is—my own evil corpse? The External Body Divine Technique is just a low-level version of the Three Corpses Severing Technique?"
After a moment of thought, classic scenes from those novels came to mind.
Just then, the figure outside him bowed to him and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist."
Xingyuan Qianshuo returned the greeting and asked, "How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"
"This humble Taoist is Xuan Yue."
"Qian Shuo greets Fellow Daoist Xuan Yue."
"We are one, there's no need for formalities."
"good."
Whether it was just his imagination or not, he felt much calmer after going through the process.
Looking at the body again, it looks much better now.
He hadn't given his body a name, but during the conversation just now, the name naturally came out—"Xuan Yue".
This is his own "evil corpse," Xuan Yue.
The external body, as a special and real entity, also has many other functions.
After a moment's thought, Xingyuan Qianshuo used his Wood Release technique to create tables and chairs.
With a wave of his hand, he took out Life Curry and Rice from his personal space, served two portions, and celebrated the rebirth of his alternate self.
He picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of curry rice and put it in his mouth. The spiciness made him sweat.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's main body was also stimulated by this spiciness, and the feeling was no different from when he ate it himself.
Yes, the main body and the outer body each ate a bite, doubling the stimulation.
Unlike shadow clones, which are created solely from chakra, the external body can eat, drink, excrete, and sleep like a normal person, and recovers chakra through diet and rest.
The maximum amount of chakra that can be extracted from the external body is about 60% of that of the main body of Xingyuan Qianshuo, and it increases as the amount of chakra in the main body increases.
Equally remarkable is that chakra can be transferred between the main body and the external body regardless of distance.
After finishing their respective servings of Life Curry, Xingyuan Qianshuo began testing other items.
With a slight thought, the eyes of the body outside suddenly turned scarlet, and the eyes took on the form of the six-tomoe Sharingan.
"Is it really feasible?" Xingyuan Qianshuo wondered to himself.
Shadow clones have certain limitations when using the Sharingan, especially the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is less effective than the original Sharingan.
However, the external body is almost identical to the main body, and can fully utilize the kaleidoscope's eye techniques.
He then tried to replenish the chakra between the two, not only at close range, but also by teleporting his outer body hundreds of kilometers away, with unparalleled smoothness.
This transmission seems to occur in another dimension, completely unrestricted by space and loss.
Similarly, despite being so far apart, their consciousness and vision remained interconnected without any sense of unease, which is quite mysterious.
After a moment's thought, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique on both his main body and his avatar simultaneously, instantly teleporting to Huimei's side.
"Teacher, you've arrived?" Huimei greeted her happily, then asked with a hint of confusion, "Teacher, what brings you here?"
"Huimei, can you sense the differences between my two bodies using Kagura's Mind's Eye?" Hoshigen Chisaku asked.
Upon hearing this, Hui Mei focused her senses for a moment and replied, "Teacher, apart from the difference in chakra levels, there is no other difference."
Xingyuan Qianshuo immediately blocked the communication between the two and asked, "And now?"
Hui Mei subconsciously moved towards the original location and said, "Teacher, you are more approachable, he is a bit—scary."
After saying that, she playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Is that so?" Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded and then canceled the block.
"Teacher, isn't this the Shadow Clone Technique?" Huimei asked in confusion.
"A rather unique clone technique," Xingyuan Qianshuo replied.
"Try taking some healing pom-poms from me," the other body said.
"Yes, teacher," Huimei replied respectfully.
Soon, she collected five sets, totaling one hundred healing pom-poms.
Xingyuan Qianshuo called a halt, and with a slight thought, his physical body disappeared, returning to his spiritual space.
Just as tailed beasts can be sealed inside a ninja's body, external bodies can also be recalled.
