"What kind of research does Lord Orochimaru plan to conduct this time?" Taichi came up behind Orochimaru, looking at the large number of snake corpses on the operating table, and asked with some unease.
Although Taiyi had killed countless people, he still felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the snakes dissected and dismembered in front of him.
I don't understand what Orochimaru is trying to do.
"Does Taiichi think the human body is too fragile?" Orochimaru said with amusement, quickly peeling off the bones of a snake and placing them back on a tray in their original positions.
It seemed that there was no need for Taiichi's answer. Orochimaru said to himself, "The longest bone in the human body is the femur. The length of a male's femur is usually 40 to 50 centimeters. You can imagine how fragile such a long bone is. Even a slightly serious blow can cause it to break."
Looking at the skeletons of these snakes, even those as long as humans, the longest of their skeletons is only half the length of a human's. This makes them more than twice as resistant to impact as humans under the same conditions.
Taiyi, do you think we can modify humans to possess characteristics similar to snakes?
Taiyi felt a chill. Wasn't this the software modification that Orochimaru would use in the future? Many of Orochimaru's future snake-based ninjutsu would be developed based on this.
I just didn't expect Orochimaru to have this idea so early on.
"The human body has its advantages, and snakes have their benefits. It depends on each person's choice. However, I still prefer the human body as it is. If you want a strong physique, then just keep getting stronger," Taiyi said, expressing his opinion.
Soft modifications can indeed make people very resistant to blows, even able to withstand Tsunade's super-strong punches, but Taichi doesn't want to turn himself into that inhuman, snake-like appearance. He still feels that training himself is more practical.
Orochimaru turned around and scrutinized Taiichi from head to toe with the same look he gave him as if he were admiring a work of art, making Taiichi feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Taiichi, you can't understand how difficult it is for ordinary people to improve their strength at such a young age. For ordinary people, reaching Chunin is their limit; they can never dream of becoming Jonin."
"For commoner ninjas like Jiraiya and me to have achieved what we have today is an exceptional feat, one in ten thousand. Yet, even so, I've sensed my own limitations. Without unforeseen circumstances, further improvement in strength will be incredibly difficult."
Taiichi looked at Orochimaru in surprise, not expecting Orochimaru to be so pessimistic about his future. He knew that Orochimaru's strength was far from reaching the level he envisioned.
Now, judging from what he said, most of his future achievements will likely be the result of continuous research and improvement. He truly deserves to be called the number one scientific madman in Naruto.
"I still stand by my point of view, but I don't object to your approach. There are many paths to strength, and all we can do is keep moving forward along the path we believe in until we reach our goal."
Taiichi's eyes were exceptionally firm, a determination to move forward towards his goal, and this same gaze moved Orochimaru.
Although the two have taken different paths, they share the same spirit of perseverance and striving forward, which makes them feel a sense of mutual respect at this moment.
"Lord Orochimaru, although we are conducting experiments, shouldn't we pay more attention to the experimental procedures, especially human experiments? After all, each test subject is hard-won, and we can't waste them because of some meaningless mistakes."
This is something Taiichi has always wanted to bring up. He is not against human experimentation; scientific progress, especially in biology, cannot be separated from human experimentation. However, Orochimaru's approach was inappropriate.
He could recklessly conduct human trials in order to save time or to see the effects directly, which caused a lot of unnecessary losses.
Taichi also took this opportunity to remind Orochimaru that experimental procedures are still necessary.
"Oh!" Orochimaru glanced at Taichi with a wicked smile. "I didn't expect you to actually sympathize with these test subjects."
"It's not out of sympathy, but simply to make the research last longer. Right now it's wartime, and nobody cares about a few prisoners who die, but the war will eventually end. Where are you going to find test subjects then? And once you've developed this habit of experimentation, it won't be easy to change it."
Taiyi has done everything he could to be kind and righteous, and has given all the necessary reminders.
However, Orochimaru clearly didn't listen to much of what he was saying. He continued to carry out his experiments on his own, recording the size, function, and movement principle of each bone.
"I'll keep an eye on you, Taichi," Orochimaru said calmly. "Next up is the human experimentation phase, and it'll be your turn to shine."
Taiichi shook his head helplessly and stepped forward, ready to help Orochimaru stabilize the test subject's vital signs at any time.
Another month has quietly passed.
In the past month, Tai has devoted 70% of his energy to one thing: researching and developing the Vajra Sealing Technique. Now, he is finally about to complete the last bit of progress.
-
The Land of Hot Water, by a small river far from the Konoha camp.
Taiyi sat cross-legged on a giant rock, with a pale golden chain extending from his body behind him.
The chain seemed like a giant one, spinning and dancing in mid-air.
Sometimes it plunges headfirst into the ground, disappearing without a trace, as if it were a phantom.
Sometimes it wraps itself around a large tree, then suddenly exerts force, twisting the thick tree in two.
But this was not its complete state. The chains, under Taiyi's control, fell into his hands, and as Taiyi concentrated, a Yin attribute chakra appeared around him.
Yin Release creates form from nothingness. Taiyi's Yin attribute nature change was also raised to Lv10 half a month ago, and after consuming one skill point, it reached Lv11.
With this Yin Release as a foundation, Taiyi can now more easily materialize this chain, and now he is going to give this chain its most important sealing ability.
Above his hands, amidst the dense Yin attribute chakra, sealing runes floated and sank, constantly interacting with the chains in his hands. Each time a sealing rune merged into them, the chains became more solid.
Until a certain critical point is reached.
[After a long period of research and development, your skill "Diamond Lockdown" has gained +1 experience point.]
【King Kong Lockdown Lv1 (0/100)】
A flood of memories about the Vajra Sealing Technique surged through Taiyi's mind, some of which he already knew, but much of it was knowledge he had never encountered before.
At that very moment, an unknown change was taking place deep within his bloodline. It was the influence of chakra on human genes, like a chakra limit changing a person's very foundation.
The Yin Seal on his forehead unconsciously opened, and a large amount of chakra flowed back into his body from the Yin Seal, providing a continuous source of energy for the transformation of his body.
At the same moment, a large number of sealing runes appeared in his hand and were frantically imprinted into the chains according to some inexplicable rule.
When half of the chakra in the entire Yin Seal was consumed, the process finally ended.
At this moment, the chains in Taiyi's hands were so solid that even upon closer inspection, they showed no trace of illusion.
With a thought, the chains flew out of his hand and swung wildly in the air, accompanied by the whooshing sound of the air being torn apart.
As chakra was poured in, a second, a third, and finally a fourth chain extended from his back. Taiichi felt that this was his limit at this moment, controlling four chains simultaneously.
This is a bit inferior to Kushina. Taiichi remembers that when Kushina demonstrated her power to him, she used five chains, and that might not have been her full strength.
After retrieving three chains, leaving only one chain outside, Taiyi now wanted to test the chain's sealing ability, since that was the very purpose for which he developed this sealing technique.
Taiichi extended his right arm, and the chains began to wrap around him, circle by circle. As the wrapping technique increased, Taiichi could clearly feel the speed of chakra circulation slowing down little by little.
This is the difference between Taichi's Adamantine Lock and Kushina's.
Kushina's sealing power is strong; once she's bound, it's sealed to the maximum extent. To increase its power further, you'd have to add another chain.
Taiichi's seal doesn't hurt. Although the sealing power was weak at the beginning, as the number of bindings increased, the sealing power also increased exponentially. Its upper limit in fighting the chains alone far exceeds that of Kushina.
Then feel the difference in the sealing power of the two.
Kushina's power was like a torrent of water rushing down, fierce and violent.
Taiyi's power is like a gentle stream, nourishing things silently, and its sealing power will only grow stronger over time.
Taiichi nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, the chains suddenly accelerated, spreading from his arm to his torso.
Under the increasingly powerful sealing force, Taiyi had no choice but to exert even greater strength to resist it.
Until the chakra was sealed and unable to move, the chains, having lost their chakra supply, gradually became ethereal and eventually disappeared completely.
Even so, the sealing power continued to suppress Taiyi within his body for more than 5 minutes before Taiyi was able to break free.
Straightening his body, which was somewhat stiff from being suppressed by the power of the seal, Taiyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After more than five months, he finally developed this sealing technique. To commemorate the source of inspiration for this technique, Taiyi didn't even change its name, calling it the Vajra Seal.
Actually, he's terrible at naming things. He couldn't come up with a cool and awesome name after thinking for a long time, so he just called it "King Kong Lockdown". Anyway, Kushina wouldn't pursue him for copyright infringement.
With this move, he wanted to see how Killer Bee would try to escape if he encountered him again. He would be wasting such a good sealing technique if he didn't break Killer Bee's cell walls.
After tidying himself up, Taiichi flew back to the camp using the Thunder God Technique, ignoring the surprised looks of others, and went straight to Orochimaru in the central army tent.
"Lord Orochimaru, is there any news about Killer Bee lately?" Taichi asked excitedly, looking eager to try it out.
"Oh! Taichi, is there some good news? Why are you in such a hurry to cause trouble for Killer Bee?" Orochimaru stopped the document he was about to sign and looked up at Taichi with curiosity.
"Haha, I just developed a powerful ninjutsu. I'll go teach Killer Bee a lesson." Taichi scratched his head sheepishly, feeling that his reason was a bit absurd.
However, Orochimaru was quite interested in this. He flipped through the information in his hand and said to Taiichi with some disappointment, "It's a real pity that we haven't received any news about Killer Bee in the last day or two."
"But Taiyi, if you really want to find him, you can simply go to the Cloud Village's frontline camp and intercept him. I believe you are perfectly capable of coming and going freely."
Orochimaru came up with a terrible idea, but it made Taichi's eyes light up when he heard it.
To others, this idea was sending him to his death, but for Taiyi, it was highly feasible.
Simply put, the Flying Thunder God Technique is a divine skill for survival.
"Great idea! I'll go right now!" Taiichi gave Orochimaru a thumbs up; if he had flashed his big white teeth, he would have been a perfect replica of Guy.
Without waiting for Orochimaru's reply, he abruptly disappeared from the spot.
Orochimaru stared blankly at the spot where Taiichi had disappeared, wondering what kind of ninjutsu had caused Taiichi to lose his composure like this.
It should be noted that Taiyi is usually very disciplined and would never use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the central military camp.
At this moment, Taiichi had no time to care about Orochimaru's thoughts. He had already arrived in the Land of the Moon. After identifying the direction, he leaped into the air, and then his wings spread out behind him. After a gust of wind, he soared into the sky.
In the air, he spread his wings to provide lift, and the wind-attribute chakra created a gale around him, constantly providing power for his speed.
What would have taken him three hours to run, he covered in just over ten minutes by flying.
Hovering in the air, Taiyi fired a Fire Dragon Ball from above without saying a word. The scorching fire dragon crashed into the barrier that had risen above the camp, creating ripples.
This was merely a greeting, indicating to Yunyin that Taiyi had arrived. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just ordinary flames, but his signature bright golden flames.
"Killer Bee, you tentacle monster, get out here right now!" Taichi shouted from the sky, his voice amplified by ninjutsu and spreading throughout the entire camp.
Now everyone in the camp discovered the existence of Taiyi in the sky.
"Lord Ai, it's Matsushita Taichi!"
In front of the central command tent, a staff officer pointed anxiously at the distant sky and reported to Ai, who was walking out of the tent.
"My eyes aren't blind; I recognize that's Matsushita Taichi." Ai retorted irritably to the staff officer, not because he said something pointless, but because of his fearful attitude.
"hope, Tutai, Kaina, Raishin, and Raiya, the five of you will come with me to meet Matsushita Taichi. The rest of you will stay at the camp and activate all defensive barriers."
Ai kept his eyes fixed on Matsushita Taichi in the distant sky, and without turning his head, gave instructions to the people around him.
That damned Matsushita Taichi, relying on his ability to fly and his space-time ninjutsu, doesn't take Kumogakure seriously at all, even provoking them right at the camp gate. This is truly intolerable.
It's a pity that Killer Bee is no longer on the front lines. He was transferred back to Kumogakure a few days ago. Otherwise, we would definitely join forces to give Taichi a good lesson and teach him a lesson.
Taiyi, high in the sky, watched the six people emerge from the camp, but Killer Bee, whom he was looking for, was not among them, and he was immediately disappointed.
"Hey, where's Killer Bee? I came here to find him. You're not hiding because you're afraid of me, are you?" When it comes to sharp tongues, Taiichi is second to none. Moreover, his superior position amplifies his provocation by 200%.
