Chapter 157: Gu Zang's Small Step
Chapter 157: Gu Zang's Small Step
Stabbing someone in the back, Gu Zang's behavior is not much different from Black Zetsu's, but Black Zetsu did it to save his mother, while Gu Zang was purely selfish.
From the first time he met Hiruko during the Chunin Exams, Gu Zang knew that he needed an identity that could reasonably allow him to get close to him. It was not important to get close, but to appear by Hiruko's side at any time without being abrupt and gain his trust.
In this way, he can always grasp the progress of his research and development of the Ghost Bud Luo technique. Once the Ghost Bud Luo technique is successful, it will be time for Gu Zang to reap the rewards.
The appearance of Chuan Zang's body is both a prelude to a better integration with the human body and a means to get close to Beiluhu.
After the Second Shinobi World War, the only ninja still alive in Konoha who could skillfully use the Five Elements Ninjutsu, had mastered it thoroughly, and could make Hiruzen feel at ease was Obiru, a civilian ninja who was a contemporary of the Three Ninjas and had no background.
It seems that Gu Zang gave Hiruzen a choice, but in fact he targeted and confirmed Hiruko's identity as Kawanzo's instructor.
The guilt that Hiruzen harbored was actually a means for Kozo to shed suspicion and distance himself from his human and insect forms.
Once everything is arranged, the next thing to do is a natural progression.
After Beiluhu obtained Chuan Zang's blood and confirmed that he had perfected the Guiya Luo technique, Chuan Zang also quietly planted the Flying Thunder God technique on his back in Beiluhu's laboratory, and through the bloodline link of Chuan Zang's blood, he caused a laboratory explosion, forcing Beiluhu to defect early.
Even if Hiruhu ran far away, Gu Zang was not in a hurry. After "appeasing" Hiruzen Danzo and meeting Kakashi, he would still have time to come out and kill Hiruhu.
Looking at the body of Beiluhu in his arms, Chuan Zang slowly closed his eyes that were still open in death.
"Continue to dream of your invincibility in the Pure Land. No one will disturb you anymore, Mr. Biruhu."
Die with eyes open? Forget about his eyes, Gu Zang wouldn't even leave him a corpse. In the future, this guy wouldn't be able to be brought out of the world.
Gu Zang's huge body turned into two meters in size and swallowed Beiliuhu's body in one gulp.
The system operates and digests, constantly improving Gu Zang's body.
Under Kawazo's technique, the insect body and the human body returned to Konoha together.
In addition to the Kido no Kisara technique and the Five Elements Ninjutsu, Hiruko also has a surprise, Storm Release, but it is of no use to Gu Zang. No matter how rich the ninjutsu is, the improvement in combat power is limited.
Whether it is Hiruzen or Kakashi, all those ninjutsu are actually of little use. On the contrary, the prince and Hashirama have one trick that can do anything. Killing people often does not require any fancy techniques; a strong enough move is enough.
Gu Zang slightly circulated his chakra and tried to release the Ghost Bud Technique with his insect body, but found that it didn't work.
Unlike the art of spiritualization, the art of ghost sprouts relies on the human body and cannot be released through the insect body.
Fortunately, Kawanzo's body has matured. After transferring the chakra to Kawanzo, Kawanzo released the Ghost Bud Technique to merge the insect body and the human body.
After a while, Kawazang, who was lying on the bed, slowly got up. As soon as he thought about it, something happened that was enough to shock the entire ninja world. As his flesh continued to roll and squeeze inward and his bones creaked, Kawazang turned from a human into a hideous water bear.
Gu Zang examined his body through the sensor (press F) and nodded with satisfaction. After fusing with Chuan Zang, there was basically no change in his insect body. Unlike the abilities brought by the devouring system, Chuan Zang was originally himself, and there was no extra ability after the fusion.
But now, Gu Zang has the ability to transform and separate between human body and insect body at any time. Moreover, even in insect form, he can release ninjutsu by constructing the human body structure of Kawazang in his body.
Gu Zang opened his mouth, and a simple human figure slowly accumulated inside his abdominal cavity. As he paid more attention, the human figure slowly crawled out of Gu Zang's mouthparts, stood up in front of Gu Zang, and then the body rolled over again, gradually forming the appearance of Chuan Zang.
This is a scene that makes people's sanity drop wildly. If Orochimaru saw it, he would definitely shout words like "senior" and "soulmate".
Just like Orochimaru's man spits out snakes, snakes spits out man, man spits out swords, swords spits out man, snakes spits out swords, and swords spits out snakes, after mastering the technique of Kiyomizu-no-Kiseki, Kozang can also easily construct Kawanzo's human body in his own body to separate and use it.
"Hello, my name is Gu Zang."
The human-like Chuan Zang stretched out his hand towards the insect-like body.
The insect body also stretched out its claws and placed them on Chuan Zang's hand.
"Hello, I can also call you Chuan Zang."
The two bodies looked at each other and smiled, and Gu Zang's thoughts became clear.
He had been planning and strategizing in Konoha for a full twenty-eight years! Although time was almost meaningless to Kozo, the various threats from the ninja world kept him from moving. Immortality did not mean immortality.
Now that he has mastered the ability to release ninjutsu, he can be said to have truly gained a foothold in the ninja world, and once he has gained a foothold, he will be at least at the level of Kage.
Gu Zang now feels an impulse.
How about bringing out Senju Tobirama's Impure World, beating him up with his elder brother's Wood Release and the techniques he's researched himself, then pressing his head down and letting him see how he destroys Konoha?
Not quite.
Gu Zang shook his head.
There is also a sinister Black Zetsu in the dark, and there is no benefit in revealing his existence and strength too early.
Besides, even if his current strength was enough to shout "I am the new God of Ninja!", but he couldn't catch Black Zetsu, the threat of Six Paths and Kaguya would always exist. There was also a little brat on the moon who could stare at lasers. If he didn't swallow them, Gu Zang would always feel a sense of crisis that his firepower was insufficient.
The key to survival is to always remain calm and analytical and keep a hand in mind. The key is to only expose the necessary "self" when necessary.
There are plenty of opportunities to fuck that idiot Tobirama, there is no need to rush. Gu Zang calmed down his impulse a little, then lay back on the table, thinking about the future.
For Gu Zang, although he can transform at will now, the insect body is his true body. Both the system and his soul rely on the insect body for existence. The strength of the insect body is far beyond that of the human body, so the living fossil of Konoha must stay in Konoha forever.
But Chuan Zang's identity...his goal from the beginning was to target the Demon Gera Technique. Now that the Demon Gera Technique is in his hands, then this identity should play some of its remaining value...
......
The land of rain.
Under the introduction of Afei, Hatake Sakumo joined an organization called Akatsuki. The leader of Akatsuki was a young man named Yahiko. The young man was sunny and upright. Sakumo couldn't even believe that this man named Yahiko was from the Rain Country instead of the Fire Country.
At this time, Akatsuki was an organization that advocated and yearned for peace, and attracted a large number of people to join in the Rain Country, including ninjas, but more were civilians.
The continuation of an organization naturally cannot rely on a group of ninjas who only have military power but do not take action. These civilians are the pillars that support the survival of the Akatsuki organization.
As a member of the civilian population, Hatake Sakumo also participates in the organization's publicity work around the Rain Village on weekdays, quietly exploring the organization.
In addition to Yahiko, there are two other leaders in Akatsuki, and Sakumo has not seen those two leaders yet.
It is quite reasonable for such an organization to appear in the war-torn Rain Country, but it is quite unreasonable that the organization advocates achieving peace without relying on force.
Even without Afei's introduction, Sakumo wanted to investigate the Akatsuki organization in depth.
"Oh, it's Uncle Kong Chen. How was your harvest today? Did you suffer any injustice?"
The smile on Yahiko's face was like a candle that could be extinguished at any time in the continuous rain. It was warm, but also made people worry that the rain would extinguish it at any time.
"Well, it's not bad. But Commander, why do you always stay so optimistic?"
"As for me, it's probably my responsibility as a leader. If I look sad every day, how can anyone believe that we will succeed? It's because I believe in myself and my companions that they believe in me."
Sakumo looked at Yahiko's clenched fist, which was radiating light, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If a child like this was born in the Land of Fire, he would probably have a bright future, but he is a Rain Ninja...
