Long Live The Hokage

Chapter 224: The Curse

Chapter 224: The Curse

Sure enough, the reason behind his immortality isnt a human experiment. Is it the effect of a certain technique? Masahiko was slightly surprised.

Such altars generally have two effects. Like the one in the Land of Wind or the other in Roran, altars usually sealed with Fuinjutsu. And breaking the seal amplifies the effect of a specific technique.

If its really a technique, its probably stronger than the Edo Tensei. Masahiko frowned.

The other two with Masahiko had already stepped forward, inspecting every corner in the venue, and Masahiko could tell that there was a strange green light reflecting in Orochimarus eyes.

Damn it, I knew it, it was awkward that Orochimaru took the initiative to participate in this mission. He turned out to be interested in Jashins immortality.

Masahiko stepped forward, Orochimaru, did you figure out anything? Masahiko was anxious that Orochimaru will create an undead army in the future. Turning Naruto to the Dark Souls world would be really terrible

Orochimaru shook his head, Theres nothing to gain.

Masahiko glanced at him for a while, then sighed helplessly. He really couldnt tell if Orochimaru was telling the truth.

The Undead Legion I still remember that boss, but I have Optimus Prime now, and Im fearless!(T/N: Farrons Undead Legion in Dark Souls 3 is a boss comprised of three separate Abyss Watchers.)

After checking every corner of the venue, there was nothing special except the status of Jashin that was much larger than the previous ones.

In the end, the eyes of the three of them fell on the altar.

Masahiko looked around, then smirked, Jiraiya, you go.

Jiraiya rolled his eyes, he knew that Masahiko was trying to use him as a dummy, but he wasnt that stupid.

After hesitating, he sat down cross-legged, and then Masahiko could feel the natural energy converging toward him at high speed.

So, hes using the Sage Mode to perceive the place? Masahikos heart moved. Initially, he was just teasing Jiraiya. Masahiko should be the one exploring the way since hes a perceptual Shinobi and also the strongest. Unexpectedly, after he turned 30 years old, Jiraiya started to respect the elderly more.

Well, hes only trying to protect his best friend. Masahiko smiled and looked at Orochimaru.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru did the same thing and started gathering Natural Energy.

Wow, these two are really interesting. Masahiko immediately sat down too, eager to see their sage modes transformation.

About two minutes later, Orochimaru took the lead to enter the Sage Mode.

In addition to the pale skin that has initially been pale, some white scales grew on Orochimarus face.

Hakuja Sennin? Masahiko was surprised; the scales on Orochimarus face looked the same as the Immortal Snake.

Masahiko didnt know if it was his imagination, but the moment he entered his Sage Mode, Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, who was still cross-legged and seemed to have shown a little contempt in his eyes.

That idiot, he started learning Sage Mode earlier than Orochimaru, yet hes taking more time to enter the mode. He deserves it.

But thats okay. Since Jiraiya looked the most bothered about the dead people outside, he probably was uneasy and couldnt focus on gathering the Natural Energy

Therefore, Masahiko watched Orochimaru walk in, after which the scales on his face began to fall off.

After about two minutes, Orochimaru came out. The scales on his face had fallen clear, and he released the Sage Mode.

Theres weird energy inside that is blocking the Natural Energy or maybe the Natural Energy is the one resisting that energy, Im not sure.

At this time, Jiraiyas face also turned into a frog, and his face became really ugly.

Orochimaru, how can you enter Sage Mode that fast?

Stupid.

You

Hey, stop it. And you, Jiraiya, how can you call yourself a sage when its taking you that long to enter the Sage Mode? You should practice more and should also work on the duration. How are you planning to use it in actual battle if you cant keep it more than five minutes? Masahiko said helplessly.

How did you know that? Jiraiya was shocked.

Talent isnt the problem; Jiraiya might be even more talented than Orochimaru, but sometimes hes just lazy

After that, Jiraiya walked into the altar, and the patterns on his face quickly faded away, just like Orochimaru, but

Even after his Sage Mode was released, Jiraiya didnt come out, and he wanted to try gathering that energy within his body.

But in just two seconds, he showed a slightly uncomfortable expression and got pulled out by Masahikos gravity.

Whats the matter? Masahiko looked confused.

Jiraiya took a few breaths, then showed a puzzled expression, Its a weird feeling. I felt some kind of a pressure that seems to be directly acting on the soul.

A technique that affects the soul?

Masahiko stood up, sure enough, he had to go and try it himself.

He didnt activate his Sage Mode. Masahiko didnt believe that anything would affect his body or soul with his Yin and Yang Releases at LV9.

Sure enough, after he walked up, he only sensed some kind of energy trying to connect to his soul, but it couldnt shake it at all.

Sure enough, my soul and the body are completely oppressed together. As long as the body doesnt rot, the soul will never leave the body Wait, so this is the truth of immortality? Masahiko suddenly realized how simple the truth is.

Its a pity, even though Im not trying to resist it, this energy will couldnt connect to my soul. Therefore, I will never learn this technique of immortality. This kind of weak energy cant shake my soul but I think if I control my power a bit, theres a small possibility that it will get completely attached to my body

Wait technique? Thinking of this, Masahikos expression suddenly changed. Even though he was standing at the altars center, he couldnt sense the slightest Chakra fluctuation.

Its not a Ninjutsu, its not Fuinjutsu. What is this? A trace of interest showed up on Masahikos face; thinking that he had discovered another power system in Naruto World, he couldnt help but smile excitedly.

Impossible is this Immortal Cultivation? Masahiko muttered and hurriedly opened his status bar, looking for a QI Training skill.

However, the result was disappointing; nothing changed on his status bar.

Yeah, keep on dreaming Masahiko sighed, Lets just solve this problem with some scientific methods.

Masahiko walked down a few steps then glanced at Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Step back, you guys.

Earth Release: Raising Rocks!

The ground below the altar rose up, and the altar fell apart.

Elder, we havent Jiraiya tried to explain, but Masahiko waved his hand while he watched the land rising in front of him, and the altar getting destroyed.

Suddenly a few pieces of mud flew over here and there, and when one was about to hit him, Masahiko it with one hand, then suddenly frowned.

Isnt this? He thought he figured it out before, but it seems that the source of that strange energy is the radiation of a particular metal element under the alter.

Masahikos mouth twitched as he looked at the shattered altar, and felt a little regretful. However, when he turned over and saw how Orochimaru was looking at him, he sighed and said secretly, Its okay. Lets hope he didnt figure out anything

Lets go back. Just when Masahiko said that, he felt as if he had learned something new.

Come out! My Qi Cultivation Skill!

Masahiko hurriedly searched his skill bar back and forth and finally found a new unique ability, Curse Breaker.

Curse?
