Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 224: The Curse

“Truely, the reason behind its immortality is not a human experiment. Is it the effect of a particular technique?” Masahiko was a little surprised.

The altar generally has two effects. As in the Land of Wind or the others in Roran, the altar was usually sealed with Fuinjutsu. And breaking the seal amplifies the effects of a certain technique.

“If it really is a technique, it may be stronger than Edo Tensei.” Masahiko frowned.

The other two with Masahiko had already stepped forward, checking every corner in the place, and Masahiko could tell that there was a strange green light reflected in Orochimaru's eyes.

“Damn, I know that, awkwardly Orochimaru took the initiative to participate in this mission. He turns out to be interested in the immortality of Jashin.”

Masahiko stepped forward, “Orochimaru, did you find something?” Masahiko was worried that Orochimaru would create an army of the undead in the future. Turning Naruto into the world of the Dark Soul would be terrifying…

Orochimaru shook his head, “No luck.”

Masahiko glanced at him for a while, then sighed helplessly. He really did not know if Orochimaru was telling the truth.

“The Undead Legion.. I still remember that boss, but I have Optimus Prime now, and I'm not afraid!”

(T/N: Farron's Life Corpse Legion in Dark Soul 3 is a boss consisting of three separate Abyss Observers.)

After checking every corner of the venue, there was nothing special except Jashin's status which was much larger than the previous one.

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

Masahiko looked around, then grinned, “Jiraiya, go.”

Jiraiya rolled her eyes, she knew that Masahiko was trying to use her as a puppet, but she was not that stupid.

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

“So, she used Sage Mode to see the place?” Masahiko's heart moved. At first, he was just teasing Jiraiya. Masahiko should be the one to explore the path as he is the perceptual Shinobi and also the strongest. Unexpectedly, after turning 30 years old, Jiraiya began to respect the older ones more.

“Well, he's just trying to protect his best friend.” Masahiko smiled and looked at Orochimaru.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru did the same and began to accumulate Natural Energy.

“Wow, both are really interesting.” Masahiko immediately sat down as well, wanting to see their wise fashion transformation.

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

In addition to the pale skin that was originally pale, several white scales grew on Orochimaru's face.

“Hakuja Sennin?” Masahiko was shocked; the scales on Orochimaru's face looked the same as Immortal Snake.

Masahiko didn't know if it was his imagination, but as he entered Hermit Mode, Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, who was still cross-legged and seemed to show a hint of “insult” in his eyes.

“That idiot, he started learning Sage Mode earlier than Orochimaru, but he needed more time to enter the mode. He deserves it.”

But it's okay. Since Jiraiya looked most concerned with the dead on the outside, he was probably agitated and could not focus on gathering Natural Energy…

Therefore, Masahiko saw Orochimaru enter, after which the scales on his face started to fall out.

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

“There is a strange energy inside that blocks the Natural Energy.

At this moment, Jiraiya's face also turned into a frog, and her face became extremely ugly.

“Orochimaru, how can you get into Sage Mode that fast?”

“Stupid.”

“You..”

“How do you know that?” Jiraya surprised.

Talent is not the problem; Jiraiya may be more talented than Orochimaru, but sometimes he is just lazy…

After which, Jiraiya walked up to the altar, and the pattern on his face quickly faded, like Orochimaru, but…

Even after his Lightning Mode was released, Jiraiya did not come out, and he wanted to try to gather that energy within his body.

But in just two seconds, he showed a slightly uncomfortable expression and was pulled out by Masahiko's gravity.

“What's the problem?” Masahiko looked confused.

Jiraiya took a few breaths, then showed a puzzled expression, “A strange feeling. I feel a kind of pressure that seems to directly work on the soul.”

“Technics that affect the soul?”

Masahiko stood up, of course, he had to go and try it himself.

He did not activate his Sage Mode. Masahiko did not believe that anything would affect his body or soul with the Yin and Yang Release in LV9.

Sure enough, after he walked, he only felt some sort of energy trying to connect to his soul, but it could not shake him at all.

“Truely, my soul and my body were completely oppressed together. As long as the body does not rot, the soul will never leave the body.. Wait, so this is the truth of immortality?” Masahiko suddenly realized how simple the truth was.

“It's a shame, even though I didn't try to resist it, this energy won't be able to connect to my soul. Therefore, I will never learn this technique of immortality. This kind of weak energy could not shake my soul. but I thought that if I controlled my strength a little, there was a small chance it would actually stick to my body.”.

“Wait...technic?” Thinking of this, Masahiko's expression suddenly changed. Even though he was standing in the middle of the altar, he could not sense the slightest fluctuation of Chakras.

“It wasn't Ninjutsu, it wasn't Fuinjutsu. What is this?” Traces of interest appeared on Masahiko's face; thinking that she had discovered another power system in Naruto's World, she could not help but smile excitedly.

“Cannot be this ... Immortal Cultivation?” Masahiko muttered and hurriedly opened his status bar, looking for the “QI Training” skill.

However, the result was disappointing; nothing had changed in its status bar.

“Yes, keep dreaming.” Masahiko sighed, “Let's solve this problem with some scientific method.”

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

“Retreat, you.”

“Earth Release: Lifting Stones!”

The ground under the altar rose, and the altar collapsed.

“Elder, we have not..” Jiraiya tried to explain, but Masahiko waved his hand while looking at the land rising in front of him, and the altar was destroyed.

Suddenly a few pieces of mud flew around, and when someone was about to hit him, Masahiko with one hand, then suddenly frowned.

“Isn't this?” He thought he had known it before, but it seemed that the source of the strange energy was the radiation of certain metallic elements under the alter.

Masahiko's mouth twitched as he looked at the shattered altar, and felt a little regret. However, when he turned around and saw how Orochimaru was looking at him, he sighed and said silently, “It's okay. Hopefully he doesn't know anything.”

“Come back.” Just when Masahiko said that, she felt as if she had “learn” something new.

“Out! My Qi cultivation skill! ”

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

“Composed?”
