Chapter 159: Role Exchange

The moment Muichiro Tokitou appeared, Suigetsu Kito's head almost turned 180 degrees to look at Konan. Si.Rabbit 520 reads the latest error-free novel chapters

He had been away from the Land of Rain for more than a month, and Muichiro had been resurrected for less than ten days, so the two did not know each other.

Also little known about Muichiro is Kabuto Yakushi.

His daily activities range from hospital to school to dormitory. He only heard from students that a cute-looking boy came to the village, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Now that he finally saw his true appearance, he immediately smelled a sense of familiarity in Muichiro's hair color and expression, and glanced at Konan with a meaningful look.

Just when Xiaonan felt that she had never experienced such an embarrassing situation in her life, Gui Deng Shui Yue was worthy of being a righteous disciple.

He actually completely ignored the atmosphere, pointed at Tokidou Muichiro and asked Konan loudly: "Why have you never said that you have such a big child?"

"Have a child?"

"Child?"

"ah?"

Gui Deng Shui Yue's voice vibrated back and forth in Xiaonan's mind and even in the blood vessels of her body like a curse.

Her skin was hot and it felt as if there were countless ants crawling on her body.

Her own mental imaginary situation of having a private conversation with the Butterfly Ninja was difficult enough.

But she never expected that someone would yell out her suspicions as if they were facts.

Just when she didn't know how to behave - whether to take the opportunity to question the Butterfly Ninja, or to deny and draw a line, Genya Fusugawa, who was originally following Muichiro, quickly stepped forward and kicked Kito Suigetsu's calf. Exploding water splashes.

"Ouch! What are you doing?! I almost have no chakra. What should I do if I can't connect my legs?"

"Then get out of here! Stop talking nonsense here!"

【here you go. 】

At least three people in the room had the same idea. As for who it is, let’s not say for now.

Pushing Suigetsu aside who was full of anger, Genya Fusugawa asked about the business: "Senior Shinobu, what happened?"

Kabuto Yakushi silently pushed up his glasses.

He always felt that Immortal Kawagenya's name for Butterfly Ninja was very strange.

The word "senior" is not necessarily used to address elders in their culture.

More often, the terms "senior" and "junior" are used between two people, which means that they have attended the same school or worked in the same department.

The Butterfly Ninja's genes are almost identical to those of Senju Hashirama, so it's almost obvious that she is a cyborg. So why would someone call an artificial human Senior?

On the other hand, this Immortal Kawakawa Genya is obviously a corpse with the same hair color and bone mass as Kimimaro, but he happens to be the same as the Butterfly Ninja, with a surname that is far from the blood successor limit. It's really The more I think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.

Unfortunately, Kabuto Yakushi didn't have the opportunity to get the genetic data of Immortal River for testing.

But Yakushi Kabuto is almost certain that Immortal Kawagenya's origin must be similar to that of Butterfly Ninja, and may even be created by her herself.

Now, a third suspicious child appeared, with hair color and expression similar to Xiao Nan.

When the Butterfly Ninja sent the crow to deliver the message, he said "Yizhu's identity". What does this sentence mean?

Could it be said that these artificial humans have a private organization? What does the word "pillar" mean? leader?

Kabuto Yakushi waited silently, waiting for Muichiro Tokito to call the Butterfly Ninja.

If it is also a "senior", then things will be really interesting.

"Don't be nervous. I called you here because I want you to see these things."

The Butterfly Ninja pointed behind him.

"..."

Genya and Muichiro looked at the water tank and then at the Butterfly Ninja, their eyes were synchronized with confusion.

Butterfly Ninja glanced back and realized that the octopuses were missing.

"Do you still have this ability?"

She took out an electric shock prod from her desk, put the electric shock head into the water, and then pressed the button——

The four octopuses in the tank emerged struggling and twisted.

As Kiden Suigetsu said, this kind of octopus that kept two hundred fog ninjas busy for two months was very cunning, and its mimicry ability was actually developed to the point of becoming invisible.

"It's okay now." Butterfly Ninja looked at the two of them, Muichiro to be more precise, "Observe carefully to see if there is anything strange about them."

Muichiro immediately understood, and his originally slightly distracted gaze suddenly focused, and he shot towards one of the octopuses like a sharp arrow.

After a moment of silence, his face as relaxed as a cloud suddenly tightened, "It is different from other octopuses I have seen before."

"Be more specific?" Butterfly Ninja leaned forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Although she has already seen some clues through dissection, what she can observe through the world is more comprehensive after all.

"Its siphon is not connected to its digestive organs."

Muichiro pointed through the glass to what most people thought was the "mouth" of the octopus.

In fact, this is the place where normal octopuses excrete and spray ink.

If the octopus needs to move faster, the siphon will also spray water behind it, acting like a rocket thruster.

"Wait a minute..." Xiaonan interrupted Wuichiro strangely, "You, can you see directly inside its body?"

What's this? Konoha's Byakugan?

"Isn't that just like a teacher?"

Suigetsu, who was reconnecting his legs, shouted: "Wait a minute, are you the son of the angel aunt, or the teacher's twin brother? I remember that guy's name is not Sasuke..."

"Don't make a fuss, Anjuro can do the same thing."

Butterfly Ren choked up Guideng Shuiyue who continued to think divergently, and explained by the way.

"Muichiro was discovered by Giyuu in the Land of Snow. He is born with the ability to learn anything quickly. This way of observation should be learned from Giyuu."

This is simply reversing cause and effect. But it dispelled Xiaonan and Shuiyue's doubts very well.

Of course Kabuto Yakushi didn't believe a word of it. But he was very discerning and didn't say a single unnecessary word.

"So, is there something wrong with it not being connected to the digestive organs?"

Immortal Kawa Xuanya asked the question at the right time.

He was illiterate and didn't quite understand why the butterfly ninja was so nervous to call them back because the octopus couldn't poop.

"It has no excretory function," Muichiro replied grimly, "meaning it can completely digest the food it eats."

"Wait a minute..." Xuanya looked at Muichiro in disbelief, then at the Butterfly Ninja, "What do you mean?"

They both nodded at the same time.

They usually look the most relaxed and comfortable, but today they also showed unusual dignity.

In Xuan Mi's understanding, there is only one kind of creature in the world that does not need to excrete, and that is ghosts.

They may spit out the parts they don't like, such as the bones they have eaten, but the digested food will be directly converted into blood in the ghost's body, not feces.

At the same time, the octopuses seemed to have finally recovered from the electric shock, but they clung to the glass wall of the water tank with a tacit understanding, as if they were trying to chew off Muichiro's fingers despite a layer of obstruction.

Butterfly Ninja remembered this scene.

"Of course, this alone is not enough to draw a conclusion."

The Butterfly Ninja consciously moved closer to the water tank. Sure enough, two more octopuses gave up Muichiro's fingers and seemed more interested in her. "Is there anything else strange?"

"There is a strange thing growing at the root of each of their arms and legs..."

Muichiro tilted his head in confusion, "I can't tell its use at the moment."

"What is that?" Xiaonan asked.

"It is the independent brain of the octopus that controls the wrist." Yakushi Kabuto explained: "The average octopus has three hearts and nine brains, each of which is responsible for different functions."

Just the description of multiple brains and hearts gave Immortal Kawagenya some bad associations.

Suddenly, Muichiro spoke up and said, "But what's on the arms and legs of this octopus is not just a brain, but a whole set of undeveloped organs."

"Ah?" Guideng Shuiyue didn't know how many times he had used this word today.

"That's what I mean," the Butterfly Ninja walked to the desk with a solemn expression, lifted the wooden box that was upside down on the table, and revealed the dissected octopus body.

"If you only attack the head and body of the octopus, you can certainly kill it..."

Everyone gathered around and noticed that the open octopus should have been dead for a long time, but its tentacles were still jumping around.

However, after being illuminated by the light, the tentacles pretended to be dead and calmed down, as if it did so because it felt everyone's gaze.

"But each of its arms and legs is absorbing the remaining nutrients in its head and body, cultivating and shaping the undeveloped organs in its body."

Muichiro stares at the body on the table, broadcasting live what is happening beneath its skin.

"That is to say," a rare trace of surprise flashed in Yakushi Kabuto's eyes, "if they absorb the nutrients from the corpse parts, they will change from one to eight? No wonder two hundred ninjas have been cleaning them for so long and couldn't help them. No."

"That should be it."

The Butterfly Ninja suddenly understood something.

"I remember that almost all Kirigakure ninjas carry swords. I guess the way they clean up these octopuses is to chop or stab them with a knife in the sea, right?"

"That's what they do."

Kiden Suigetsu nodded, "Except for the woman Terumi Mei and her tribe, who directly dissolve the octopus with acid, most of the rest of them just split open the octopus's big head with a knife and that's it."

(Note: The bulge on the top of the octopus is actually its body, and its head is located in the middle part connecting the body and arm legs, which is the small area around the eyes.)

Then, he clapped his hands together: "I didn't think it was important so I didn't say it before. These little octopuses indeed only have eight legs...

"But those big guys that are half a man tall, at least started out with twelve legs."

In other words, it seems that only one has been killed, but there are at least twelve more that are gestating.

"What a wonderful creature... Such a powerful survivability, more tenacious than snakes and lizards. It seems like something Orochimaru-sama would be interested in."

Kabuto Yakushi adjusted the frame of his glasses, "But I have never heard of such an interesting existence before. It looks like a new species.

"I'm really curious as to how it evolved into what it is now. Even if we don't mention the ability to split, the fact that it doesn't need to be excreted already violates most of the basic rules of life."

"Yes, I asked that slug that made a sibilant sound before."

Ghost Deng Shuiyue added: "Even after it eats, it has to poop."

"A species more special than immortals? This is really unexpected."

"Do you still remember Hidan?" Shinobu Kocho suddenly glanced at Kabuto Yakushi.

"Of course, how could I forget. Even the Root and Lord Orochimaru want to know the secret of a person who can survive with only one head."

Kabuto Yakushi nodded: "Why, Miss Shinobu, do you think there is some connection between Hidan and this octopus?"

"Ah!" When mentioning Hidan, Suigetsu Kizuki suddenly showed an exaggerated expression of "I remember it": "That shark!"

Hearing this word, Shinobu Kocho, Xuanya and Muichiro exchanged glances with each other. And Konan, who had been listening, was completely confused.

"What shark? What are you talking about?"

"It was the night when the Hidden Mist Village attacked the soup ninja. The teacher chopped off Hidan's head, but the part below the neck was swallowed by the shark summoned by the Hoshigaki clan ninja."

Hozuki recalled: "After that, the teacher tortured Hidan's head on the way to the Land of Water. The blood from his neck dripped into the sea, causing several wild sharks to mutate and even grow crystal scales that can reflect sunlight. Ordinary weapons can't even damage its skin.

"According to the teacher, just a few drops of Hidan's blood allowed those sharks to complete millions of years of evolution in a few days..."

"That's not evolution, that's genetic mutation."

Shinobu Kocho corrected rigorously: "At present, these octopuses that have mutated into super digestive abilities should have been affected by the shark that swallowed Hidan's torso.

"Either, the shark died for some reason and the body was eaten, and these octopuses or their predecessors were one of the eaters.

"Or, the shark was injured, the blood spread, and infected this octopus. Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out..."

What Shinobu Kocho is most worried about is that the shark's special features will be discovered and used by someone with ulterior motives.

After all, it is a summoned beast.

Just like a slug, a summoned beast does not necessarily sign a contract with only one person.

Although Hoshigaki Wave Whale is dead, the other contractors of the shark will sooner or later find out the clues, it's just a matter of time.

Unless all the members of the Hoshigaki clan are dead.

"Can this be confirmed?"

Kabuto Yakushi, who once wanted to discover immortality through Hidan's blood, was a little bit unconvinced by this simple visual diagnosis.

He applied to Shinobu Kocho: "Why not take these octopuses back and do a test on the machine to see if we can find the same components as Hidan in their blood..."

"No need to be so troublesome."

Fuzugawa Genya didn't have the patience, so he reached into the water tank and grabbed one and clenched it in his hand, "I'll know if there are ghost cells in it after I eat it! "

['Ghost'?] Kabuto Yakushi thought, [It's a very appropriate name...]

Hozuki Hozuki: "Hey, don't you grill it first? This thing might have parasites!"

But Fuzuigawa Genya had already cut off the eight tentacles of the octopus and threw them at his feet, stuffed the twitching head and body into his mouth, chewed them with a crunching sound, and then swallowed them with a "gulp".

"How does it taste?" Hozuki Hozuki looked disgusted, but still approached curiously, "Can it be eaten without dipping sauce? "

However, Xuanya just pushed him away in disgust, closed his eyelids, and silently felt the changes in his body.

After three long seconds, Xuanya Busikawa's eyes opened.

"Hiss——" He took a breath like a ghost and retreated, but the others gathered around to observe carefully.

The originally white sclera of Xuanya Busikawa turned into a misty gray, and was covered with red and black bloodshot like branches.

These eyes looked like a corpse that died of suffocation.

But this change only lasted for two or three breaths and then disappeared.

"Sure enough, it was that guy!"

Xuanya Busikawa hunched over as if exhausted, and covered his head with both hands like a delirious patient, "That feeling, I won't remember it wrong! That's his smell, I won't remember it wrong! ”

A world apart, a boundary between life and death!

The blood of Muzan Kibutsuji once again lingered on the taste buds of Genya Busikawa.

Although it was only for a few seconds!

Shinobu Kocho's fair face was almost transparent.

Even though she had expected it, the confirmation of her expectation still gave her a big shock.

After she came to this world, the first meaningful word that Giyuu said to her was "shark".

For three years, she thought that there had been no news about the shark, and maybe it had died in the depths of the ocean. It finally surfaced and began to affect this world.

"Why do you have such expressions?"

Suizuki Kizuki watched the familiar smile disappear from Shinobu Kocho's face, and her heart was even more nervous than when she saw her smile: "The Land of Rain is so far away from the sea, it can't affect us anyway. Besides, now that we know the characteristics of this octopus, the worst we can do is write a letter to tell Mei Terumi how to deal with it..."

"Think about it carefully."

Muichiro stared at him and tapped his temple, "That's the sea. If the ghost blood spreads in the sea, it will definitely affect not only this octopus, but all the surrounding marine life.

"How long is the coastline of this continent? How many people live by the sea? How much seafood is transported inland every day? How many people have the habit of eating octopus raw or sashimi?"

Kabuto Yakushi was the first to react: "So Shinobu-san is worried that if Hidan's cells enter the body of the eater again with the fish, he will eventually accumulate in the human body. So by that time, mutations will occur It’s human beings.”

"Just like those evil cultists in Tang Ninja Village back then!" Gui Deng Shuiyue thought of the night that shocked him so much, "Those guys can eat people!"

Killing Suigetsu and fratricide has become commonplace among the Kiri ninja. But this was the first time he had seen a human liver taken out and eaten, and he was still frightened when he thought about it.

"Xuanmi's change just lasted only for a few seconds, which means that the hida cells in these octopuses are very few and have not mutated to have stronger abilities."

Back then, a small piece of meat from the four-and-a-half-year-old Tengu was able to ghost the Immortal Kawagenya for an entire night. The Hidan cells in this octopus were estimated to be less than one ten thousandth of that small piece.

But once the numbers are added up, the effect is still very impressive.

The butterfly ninja raised his head: "If we can eliminate these marine creatures from the source, we may be able to avoid the worst thing from happening. Ghost lights and water moons!"

"Eh?" Shuiyue was a little overwhelmed when he was suddenly called.

"You already know how to deal with this creature, right?"

Gui Deng Shui Yue scratched the back of his head and replied tentatively: "If you catch it on land and burn it to ashes, you absolutely cannot return it to the sea with its legs and feet intact?"

"That's okay." Butterfly Ninja changed his voice, "Or you can gather all the octopuses in a pit and let Terumi Mei use acid to completely destroy them from the cellular level. This is the safest method of all. "

If one had seen Ohnoki's Dust Release, the butterfly ninja's safest method would probably be to eliminate this octopus at the molecular level.

"Wait a minute!" Gui Deng Shui Yue was inexplicably surprised and asked for confirmation: "Do you mean to let me go back?"

As long as he is not squatting in the hospital serving a chamber pot, he is willing to do anything.

Besides, catching an octopus with invisible abilities sounds like quite interesting.

“Your ability is just right for catching fish.

"In addition to you, Bai Ye should go back together. Ice Escape can be more effective when used in the sea."

This was something the Butterfly Ninja had carefully considered.

Since we are going to interfere with the mission of Kirigakure Village, it is best to choose some familiar faces.

"Miss Xiaonan, look?"

Shiro now works in the Government Affairs Center and is considered a subordinate of Konan, so the Butterfly Ninja will ask for her permission.

"Hydrangea can do his work first." Xiaonan nodded in agreement.

Although Xiaonan still doesn't think this matter will affect the Land of Rain, Bai seems to have family over the sea, and it would be unkind of her not to allow it.

"Then let's decide."

Momochi Zabuza was still in the Kingdom of Water, and Shiro wanted to go back and take a look for a day or two. The Butterfly Ninja didn't think that the other party would reject this proposal at all.

"You must do your best to eliminate this creature. If necessary, you can ask the Great Immortal Slug for help."

"Okay, I'll inform him now!" Gui Deng Shuiyue said before jumping out of the window and leaving.

"Not now!" Butterfly Ninja stopped him and looked to the other side, "Muichiro, before Shiro leaves, go find him to learn ice escape."

"Wait a minute..." Xiaonan felt that she was a little abrupt after she spoke.

But having said it all, let’s finish it: “Miss Ren, do you want to ask this child to go with you?”

That is the land of water! Even though its reputation has improved in recent years, it is still in the Blood Mist.

She had been there once with Nagato and Madara, and had a very bad impression of the Kingdom of Water.

Xiaonan didn't know what Muichiro's strength was, but she only knew that this kid was not very nice to talk to. If he was sent to that place, he would definitely not receive any courtesy.

"No." The butterfly ninja certainly knew what Xiaonan was worried about, "Kiden Suigetsu said that those octopuses are from the country of waves. Then Muichiro and Genmi, you two, go over there and investigate."

Which fish have problems and to what extent? Only people who have access to the world can do this.

Moreover, the country of Waves is isolated overseas and has poor resources, so the possibility of encountering ninjas is very small.

These two people had no experience fighting ninjas, but their personalities were very prone to conflicts, so it was a good choice to go there.

"Okay." Xuan Mi nodded. When he left the village for the first time, he was not as excited as he imagined because of the ghost blood.

However, he was quite grateful for the butterfly ninja's trust, so Xuanya secretly made up his mind to do things well this time.

"But as for ice escape..." Muichiro stretched out his foot and stepped on the arm and foot that was thrown on the ground. The latter was quickly frozen hard by a layer of frost, "I have already learned it."

Kabuto the pharmacist's pupils narrowed. Although Ice Escape is a synthetic blood successor and its owners are not rare, it has only been a few days since you came to the Kingdom of Rain? Can you actually synthesize a kind of blood inheritance limit?

The Butterfly Ninja had already expected it and nodded gently: "In this case, you can have a good rest tonight..."

"Miss Shinobi, I have a proposal." Xiaonan suddenly spoke.

"Please tell me." Butterfly Ninja was afraid that Konan would say something that shouldn't let Muichiro go out at this time.

"Why don't you just leave this child to me this afternoon and evening."

Xiaonan didn't know how much courage she mustered up to say this, "I think he is not only talented in ice escape, but also in the art of God's Paper User.

"Although this technique itself is not as powerful as the bloodline limit, it is very versatile and has many variations to deal with various crises.

"On the other hand, I want to see how far this child can learn..."

She has figured it out.

Looking at Kocho Shinobu's abnormal state today, it is inappropriate to discuss Muichiro with her.

Why not take this opportunity to teach Muichiro more ways to protect himself; secondly, when they are together, she can also find out the origins of this child.

If the matter is just a misunderstanding, it will save her from speaking rashly and leaving a bad impression on Kocho Shinobu.

On the other side, Kocho Shinobu was silent for nearly ten seconds.

Until Xiaonan's nervous heartbeat was about to shake the paper flowers off her chest, she said: "Muichiro, you decide for yourself."

"Origami is fun." Muichiro did not answer directly whether he was willing or not, but the three words "very fun" were enough to make Xiaonan happy.

"Then let's do it. "

Shinobu Kocho knew that nothing was more important than the blood of Hidan across the sea.

She just hoped that the two of them would not get along too awkwardly. "Everyone, go and prepare. Meet outside the Hidden Rain Village at 8 o'clock tomorrow. Kabuto Yakushi, you stay for a while."

Soon, everyone jumped out of the window or went out, and only two fake-smiling geniuses were left in the office.

"I decided to do some experiments with Hidan."

Shinobu Kocho sat behind her desk, and Kabuto Yakushi stood opposite her.

"Please go back and look for the old information, and then take a break, because you may have to stay up all night tonight. If you doze off, I will be very troubled."

"Since it is something you are interested in, I can't fall asleep just thinking about it."

Kabuto Yakushi did not hide his interest in Hidan.

"However, speaking of the topic of sleep... I am very curious about what Uchiha Giyuu would react if he knew what happened today.

"After all, whether it was intentional or not, the shark escaped from his hands."

"..."

Shinobu Kocho's expression did not change, but she was actually having a headache.

Since Giyuu has been using his Sharingan to accept his emotions, his temperament has improved greatly.

In Muichiro's words, Giyuu in his previous life looked like a lifeless decoration, but this time, he looked like a plant like a mimosa - not full of vitality, but at least he has some vitality and no longer looks like a walking corpse.

If Hidan's blood only infected the animals in the sea, then everything would be fine. Giyuu would probably only blame himself for affecting the lives of fishermen for a while.

But if a human being becomes a monster like a cultist, or even dies, she doesn't know what will happen.

"Please go out first."

Hearing the unconcealable tiredness in Shinobu Kocho's voice, Kabuto Yakushi bowed slightly and left.

Shinobu Kocho sat there, but her brain was spinning at high speed like the propeller of an airplane.

About five minutes later, she had an idea and used a seal to summon Kyojuro's Crow.

She first briefly described the octopus disaster in the Land of Water to Kaname, and then explained the purpose of summoning it:

"The Land of Iron is a coastal peninsula, and it should also be a country that relies on seafood as its main food.

"Tell Kyojuro to investigate the seafood markets in the main cities of the Land of Iron to see if there are any abnormally developed fish.

"Also, ask him to pay attention to whether there has been a surge in the number of patients diagnosed with rabies, delirium and other mental illnesses in the local area recently. Especially those rich people."

The situation in the ninja world is a bit like ancient Japan. Many upper classes do not eat the meat of four-legged beasts, so they use delicious raw fish sashimi instead.

Most ordinary people, even if they eat fish, they grill them, so in this matter, there is not such a big hidden danger.

"Yes." Yaya knew the seriousness of the situation. After making sure that she remembered every word of Kocho, she asked, "Is there anything else I need to convey to Lord Kyojuro?"

"One last thing..."

Kocho thought for a while before deciding, "When Kyojuro finishes these things, ask him to come back as soon as possible to guard the Hidden Rain Village instead of me. I... need to go out for a while."

"Yes!" Kocho stood up and walked slowly to the window to look at the sky after turning into a cloud of smoke and disappearing without a trace.

Unfortunately, today, like most days, the sun is not visible.

Because they have to guard against the creature named "Ze" in Konan's mouth, one of her and Kyojuro must stay here.

Kyojuro can feel the malice of Ze through the Nine-Tails Chakra borrowed from Uzumaki Naruto.

As for Kocho, she can learn about the strange creatures that appear in any corner at any time through the communication of the insects.

For three years, Kocho has always been guarding the Hidden Rain Village, while Kyojuro is like Helios' sun chariot, touring the entire ninja world.

But this time, she had to switch roles.

A business trip of about ten days...
