Vol 9 Chapter 4: Gargoyle's Secret
"The next thing seems to be where the land of the land was in the past, right?"
On the top of a bare mountain, Kaiji looked into the distance and said to Jiraiya.
Although the geographical environment of the ninja world has changed, turning deserts into forests and plains into valleys, the original directions cannot be changed.
At this moment, based on previous experience, Kai probably judged that the land ahead was where the land of the past was.
"I can't just judge it like this. Due to the changes in the ninja world, many people have moved out of their original country. For example, the country of water, which used to be on an island, has actually moved to the inland, but there is no way. After all, the original land of water is no longer suitable for ninjas to live in..."
Jiraiya also looked into the distance and said, "But at present, it seems that it is suitable for living in front of you. It seems that Iwagakushi is more likely to be nearby."
Kai nodded and said in agreement, "Let's go now, so that I can go back and inform Hokage-sama about this information first. Then I set off for the Western Continent."
Zilai also agreed, but just when he wanted to go down the mountain, he suddenly felt an extremely huge energy reaction, and then he saw only a high-energy and high-heat galloping on the ground, breaking the air and rushing towards them. come over.
Who is it? !
Enemy?
At this time, Kai also reacted, and he almost instantly entered the state of the six gates.
very fast
Even Kai, who is in the six-door state, is surprised. The speed of the person in front is definitely far faster than most ninjas. I am afraid that only a ninja with a physique like him can keep up.
"Huh? He changed direction?"
The two who were already ready for battle suddenly found that the comer had suddenly changed direction, turning from south to west, galloping away at a faster speed.
"What's going on here……"
Kai and Jiraiya stared wide-eyed, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of loss...
Jiraiya shrugged, wanting to ignore this for a while. After all, the ninja world is so big, it's normal to have a few weirdos.
However, one wave just flattened and another wave rose again, and an energy response came from that direction just now, and it came to the two of them almost in the blink of an eye.
He stopped at the place where the man changed direction at first, so he let Jiraiya and Kai see his face.
He has blond hair, and his facial contours are also different from those of the ninja world. He looks more like a mixed race like Angers, or an overseas person like jojo.
Hmm... Now another continent overseas is connected to the Ninja world. Could it be that he is from that continent?
At this moment, the blond man was floating in the air, as if he was sensing the direction that the person left in the first place.
"Did you go west?"
He chuckled lightly, then flew in the air, following the direction that the original man left at a starting speed that broke the sound barrier!
"It looks like he's chasing the man in front..."
Ji Lai also touched his chin, and thoughtfully said, "Could it be the grudge of another continent? I have never heard of such two people in the ninja world..."
"Anyway, sooner or later, I'm going to have a look. I'll have a chance to inquire when that time comes."
He made up his mind. This could be considered as a purpose for his trip to the West. By inquiring about people, he could also communicate with others more.
"Anyway, let's go to the land of the earth and take a look! And maybe they know about those two people!"
………………
"What are you researching?"
Tsunade walked into Hokage's office, just in time to see Orochimaru's frown, and asked curiously
"Is it because Grandpa wants to unify the ninja world?"
"No..." Orochimaru replied in a hoarse voice
"The ninja world will be unified sooner or later, and the first Hokage just accelerated the process. In fact, even without the first Hokage, our Konoha's strength has already overwhelmingly dominated the ninja world. I originally thought about the ninja world. Let’s unite, but if the first Hokage-sama takes action, it will naturally make the process much simpler.”
Konoha's overwhelming strength is not a lie, even if it is not a member of the Akatsuki organization on the bright side, it is only him, Shisui and Naruto, who have the power to fight against the entire ninja world.
Especially Naruto, his power is too overwhelming for those who are not as strong as him, and every move is an ultra-wide range attack.
So saying that he has the power to fight against the entire ninja world is not an exaggerated modification, but a fact.
"Then what are you thinking?" Tsunade sat in front of Orochimaru, leaned back on the chair and said, "I haven't seen you like this for a long time."
Orochimaru was silent for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he took out a mask from the drawer under the table, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Tsunade.
"what is this?"
The mask was all lime, with a groove at the top and two sharp fangs at the mouth.
After seeing this mask, I don't know why Tsunade always has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but it seems that I have never seen it before.
"The Stone Ghost Face, he turned Dio from a human into a vampire."
Orochimaru said lightly, as if there was no emotional fluctuation at all because of this terrifying mask.
"what?!"
Tsunade reacted correctly, and instinctively wanted to completely smash this thing, after all, it was too terrifying.
The culprit who accelerated the time of the entire universe and turned the entire ninja world into what it is now is the monster Dior, and Dio is the vampire transformed from this stone ghost mask!
"Why do you have this?!"
Tsunade asked
She knows her old buddy very well, and she is very clear about the idea of immortality that he has always wanted, so she is afraid that Orochimaru will choose to use the power of the stone ghost face for a while.
"You don't have to worry, maybe it's because it's been in the time acceleration for too long, or maybe it's because of Dio's death, this stone ghost mask has lost its magic power, and now it's just a very ordinary mask."
Orochimaru frowned and continued, "Originally... I did think so..."
"Originally?"
Orochimaru's words aroused Tsunade's curiosity, and he couldn't help asking, "Did you find something strange again?"
The former nodded noncommittally, then took the stone ghost face and poured a large amount of chakra into it. The next moment, the gray stone ghost face's eyes shot out rays of light.
The light distorted, forming a light curtain like a map.
"This is……"
Tsunade was stunned, this was something she didn't expect at all
"An incomplete map." Orochimaru replied, "There is one more sentence."
"A word?"
Under Tsunade's puzzled eyes, Orochimaru increased the input of Chakra, and the next moment the map was distorted again, and finally formed three lines of characters.
"Fixing the Hands of Time"
"Wandering the Shadow of Destiny"
"The Personification of Fraud and Mischief"
…………
"This, what exactly is this?!" Tsunade asked in confusion.
"That's what worries me, but now I have an idea."
Orochimaru stopped inputting chakra, the light curtain dissipated immediately, he put away the stone ghost face again, and said at the same time
"According to the original Hokage-sama, Dio came up with the idea of transcending heaven in cooperation with an organization called Gremlin, but in fact it was only because Gremlin wanted to resurrect an ancient god, so in essence they were not Might make Dior successful."
"And Dio also knew this, so he chose to be swallowed by the vampire beasts that Gremlin had manipulated, which made Gremlin fall short. Although he was defeated by you in the end, he had one foot in any case. into that field..."
"So, at the last moment, he found something, so he transformed his last strength into the stone ghost face, and kept all the information he got in the stone ghost face..."
Tsunade listened quietly, her doubts resolved, and she couldn't help but sigh, "It is indeed possible."
"But right now this map is only half, what about the other half?!"
"Of course it's on top of another stone ghost face..." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"I have a hunch that once the secret of the Stone Ghost Face is unlocked, the whole world... will undergo earth-shaking changes..."
………………
"Really, just for such a broken mask, I was beaten for a long time in the Land of Water!"
In the temporary base of Xiao's organization, because Nagato specifically ordered not to go out, Feiduan lay on the bed and complained.
"Jiaodu, you have something to say!"
"What's there to say?" Jiao Du said coldly, "Although I do want to destroy this mask now."
Originally it was a priceless treasure that could make people live forever, but now it is just a broken mask with a little artistic value. This contrast makes the corners very uncomfortable.
But things have already happened No matter how angry you are, it is impossible to change what has happened.
"But speaking of it, the groove on the top of this stone ghost's face is a bit like the badge of our evil god."
Feiduan held the stone ghost face in his hand, looked at it and suddenly found that there was a triangle in the circular groove on the top.
He couldn't help but become interested and said, "Vampires are also immortal. Could it be because of the influence of the Heretic God?!"
If you think about it, it's not impossible, he and vampires have the ability to be immortal, and blood is very useful to them...
Surprised, Feiduan suddenly felt an abnormality, his fingers tingling for a while, and the next moment he saw that he accidentally stabbed his finger with the teeth of the stone ghost, and blood was flowing out!
The next moment, the stone ghost face emitted a blood-colored light, which shocked both him and Jiao.
I saw that the red light gradually formed a winding road in the hazy changes. In the end, these roads were combined to form a map!
Then, the map was distorted to form a triangle, and a three-line font like a tadpole appeared under the triangle.
"Triangle, honor my call"
"The barrier of the mind, the secret is strictly guarded"
"By My Order, Destroy the Barrier"
