Chapter 160 Snake Is an Elegant Animal
Counting from the time they broke into the Land of Thunder, the battle between Iwagakure and Kumogakure lasted for a total of 15 days.
Fifteen miserable days.
The war ended with Kumogakure, who was in a favorable position, resisting desperately, and Iwagakure was forced to withdraw from the Kingdom of Thunder.
In terms of battle losses, both sides were very serious. Iwagakure lost more than half of its combat power, while Kumogakure killed 1,000 enemies and suffered 990 losses.
This result will definitely make both sides of the war cry, but it will make the remaining three major ninja villages happy.
Among them, Konoha was particularly cheerful.
It's not only fun, but also very fulfilling.
Because during the course of this battle, Konoha personally demonstrated what it means to be a real... trouble maker.
This ending was largely caused by Konoha's blind interference.
After the war, Konoha's next overall strategy was not to launch a large-scale war against Kumogakure or Iwagakure to directly force them to withdraw from the war.
On the contrary, the situation is exactly the opposite.
Because the Hokage is worried that the attack at this time will happen like "the soldiers will win".
If Konoha attacks Kumogakure at this time, the opponent will definitely show a desperate momentum at this time. They will definitely shrink the defense line and shrink the battlefield back to the Kingdom of Thunder, and then... it would be better to be broken than to be destroyed.
Therefore, Konoha has no intention of sacrificing a lot of lives. Now a protracted war is more beneficial to the Fire Nation.
After all, although peace is the focus, putting ninja first is the core and center.
As long as the current combat power can be maintained, Konoha will be victorious in the future.
Therefore, instead of attacking while the enemy was weak, Konoha began to let the ninjas who had not been off the battlefield for a long time return to the village in batches to rest while maintaining a balance of combat power with the enemy.
So a large number of ninjas returned to Konoha. At this time, the war entered a relatively peaceful stalemate stage - this was probably the last calm. The next war would probably be the final decisive battle for all countries.
…………
Konoha, underground secret facility, a certain room of the Intelligence Department.
This is an area that civilians and ordinary ninjas cannot touch, and they usually deal with some shameful things.
It can be said that Konoha's prospects are very optimistic at this time. In fact, it can be seen from the list of personnel who have returned to the front line to rest.
For example, the one in front of me, Orochimaru, one of the frontline leaders, returned to the village - as for the reason, the reason why he came back was probably because he heard that Konoha had obtained good research materials.
It was the man lying on the dissecting table.
"Haha..." His unique hoarse laughter sounded from time to time.
"feather……"
After a short pause, Orochimaru called out the name completely, "Sorry, your name always reminds me of something, Hagoromo."
Lord Orochimaru complained about his name again!
But Hagoromo didn't know how to talk at all, so he couldn't say he was sorry for calling her by a name like Hagoromo, right?
In this room, Orochimaru, Hagoromo and the third Raikage, two alive and one dead, are now completely alone.
The plan to invade Raikage's brain cells and obtain information failed as expected. Even the sealing master Kushina of the Uzumaki clan and the Yamanaka clan worked together, but they could not break the seals in the opponent's mind.
But this is not surprising. After all, no matter how nimble your hands are, only slip knots can be untied. For dead knots, if they cannot be untied, they cannot be untied.
There was no way, in order to bring out the last remaining value of the Raikage, Konoha's research shifted from spiritual information acquisition to physical and detailed exploration.
As the leading lightning escape expert in Konoha, Hagoromo was naturally summoned by Orochimaru during the research process... Although Hagoromo himself seriously suspected that Orochimaru did not seek him out for cooperation, but wanted to use him as material. Research.
"So, Hagoromo, what do you think is the first step in researching ninja corpses?"
"...slice?" Yuyi said with a slight hesitation.
This is not to blame for his shallow knowledge. Human corpses have never appeared in any of his research topics in his two lifetimes.
"Slice? Why do you have such an idea?"
"Um, cut into slices first, then shock to observe the reaction, or reverse the order. This is the general approach, right?"
It was obvious that Hagoromo told some serious experiments conducted in middle school biology classes.
Although the subjects of his experiment are only frogs...but there is essentially no difference between humans, frogs, and salted fish, right?
Hagoromo hadn't realized yet that he had dissected a frog and had to keep it secret so that Jiraiya wouldn't hear it.
"There's no need to slice it...you can try using Thunder Escape directly on this corpse."
Uncle Snake would definitely be reluctant to cut off the Raikage before he had enough trouble.
Hagoromo took a breath, said nothing, and just followed Orochimaru's instructions.
His hand lit up with lightning, and he pressed it down on the Raikage's body.
Then, before Orochimaru could come to a conclusion, Hagoromo himself noticed the difference.
"How is it?" Orochimaru noticed the change in Hagoromo's expression.
Hagoromo thought for a while and then said: "Generally speaking, this kind of direct release of thunder escape should have the effect of corroding and paralyzing individuals other than the caster, but Raikage's body..."
At this point, he paused for a moment, "The cells are activated, just like me."
He was still very surprised by this phenomenon. 93 gasoline and 97 gasoline were different. Why did his aggressive thunder escape activate dead cells?
This is not a medical grade thunder escape stimulation.
"Interesting... try to increase the intensity of Thunder Release." Orochimaru said.
Hagoromo began to gradually increase the intensity of his thunder escape.
"Strengthen more."
"Strengthen more."
Until Hagoromo's palm was almost releasing Raikiri, then the part of Raikage's body covered by Hagoromo's hand actually showed a phenomenon similar to the Thunder Release Chakra mode.
This... Hagoromo even doubted whether this guy was still alive.
"The more powerful the Thunder Release, the heavier the burden on the ninja's body. Although I don't know whether it is due to talent or acquired training, the Raikage's body is obviously different from ordinary people, and the adaptability to Thunder Release is too strong."
"It even has a certain memory ability. The reason why it appears in this form is probably because it was in this state before death, right?"
Orochimaru walked around the body of a strong man, sometimes sighing, sometimes explaining, and sometimes looking confused. It looked really weird.
Even if he took a bite at Raikage to taste the salty taste, Hagoromo wouldn't be surprised.
This is the attitude of scientists!
Raikage-sama, is it more painful to die than to live? Do you understand this?
Hagoromo held a moment of silence for him.
"Can Thunder Escape be strengthened?"
After listening to Orochimaru's words and looking at him, Hagoromo finally understood. When the other party looked at Raikage's reaction, he was also observing how powerful Hagoromo's thunder escape could be!
So in order not to further attract Uncle Snake's attention, Yuyi shook his head decisively. The next step would not be Thunder Release, but a simple electric shock.
Orochimaru did not dwell on this issue, although he had seen Hagoromo's strongest "Thunder Escape" mode.
"Hagoromo, what do you think is the most important thing for a ninja?"
"Chakra, understanding, learning ability, thinking awareness, etc... But the most important thing is to master and use the art."
Although he didn't know why Orochimaru suddenly asked this, Hagoromo still said what he thought.
In fact, he has a more universal answer. For all people, the most important thing is the brain.
"Hehehe..." Seemingly satisfied with this answer, Uncle Snake laughed again.
"Yes, the answer is magic, but there is a paradox..."
"That is, the danger of jutsu is directly proportional to the risk. A powerful jutsu must have a powerful burden... So here is the question, let me talk about it first, but your cells are obviously only at the level of ordinary ninjas, why are you so immune? Strong thunder escape?"
The amount of information in Uncle Snake's words is quite sufficient. For example...his words show that he has already studied someone.
Yuyi was scared to tears by Uncle Snake.
Pear blossoms bring rain.
