Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 18 If you don't have chakra, then cultivate natural energy.

"Is there a daimyo in the Land of Waves?"

Bai Mo suddenly thought of a question.

However, Tazna had already gone off to take care of important business, so they simply asked one of the villagers who had stayed behind to greet them.

"It seems like it existed before."

An older villager recalled the events.

So you're saying you don't have it right now?

"no."

"That will save a lot of trouble."

Bai Mo was just thinking that if the Land of Waves had a daimyo, this kind of utterly useless person would have to be dealt with before going to the Land of Water.

It turns out that the Land of Waves doesn't actually have a daimyo at all.

No wonder that a mere underworld businessman like Kado could almost control the lifeline of the entire country.

It's not surprising that a small country loses its great name.

For example, Orochimaru's Village of Sound, the Land of Rice Fields, is also a small country.

Orochimaru later has a rather humorous charge: "bribing the daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields to establish the Sound Village, and then seizing control of the Land of Rice Fields."

The charge of "bribing the daimyo" shows just how lowly and pitiful the daimyo of the land of fields was.

Two days later.

Bai Mo and his group arrived at the Water Kingdom by boat.

"Hidden Mist Village, Hidden Mist Village, I thought this was Pandaria shrouded in thick fog."

The environment here is quite nice, with sunshine, beaches, and sea breezes; it would be a perfect tourist destination in peacetime.

Bai Mo stretched after getting off the boat.

He was obviously joking.

Who would dare to visit Kirigakure now? They might get mistaken for a spy and killed by a Blood Mist ninja.

Even in the Hidden Mist Village during the Boruto era, it was Mei Terumi and Chojuro who, with their hands stained with blood, spent over a decade wiping out the troublemaking Blood Mist Elders before finally settling down.

"Hmm? What a coincidence?"

Bai Mo suddenly looked towards the woods in the distance.

At this moment, Itachi, Kisame, and Zabuza had just disembarked from the ship.

"Are they ninjas from Kirigakure?"

Itachi followed the direction Bai Mo was looking, and only after a while did he notice the movement.

My belief that Bai Mo cultivated immortal arts has become even stronger. —Extraordinary perception ability √

"Yes, and it is one of our goals this time."

Bai Mo certainly didn't rely on perception.

His perception is stronger than that of an average person, but it hasn't reached the level of having superhuman vision.

He only saw the future two minutes ahead.

That's right.

Bai Mo's ability to delete time has gradually grown from tens of seconds at the beginning to two minutes.

This growth was initiated by Bai Mo; he was conducting an experiment.

First of all, Itachi's guess about Bai Mo has always been wrong.

Bai Mo does not have a Celestial Mode.

Bai Mo, as a transmigrator, did not transmigrate through Yan Yulu's soul, but through his body. Even though his physical age regressed to that of a child, he was indeed transmigrating.

Just as Bai Mo explained to the Akatsuki members about history, chakra was only created after Kaguya Otsutsuki brought the Ten-Tails God Tree.

Bai Mo, who transmigrated from another world, did not possess any chakra.

This is different from people like Kai and Xiao Li.

They just don't know ninjutsu, but they still have chakra.

Even ordinary people simply haven't refined their chakra.

But Bai Mo didn't have it; he really didn't.

After Bai Mo arrived in Konoha, he found the orphanage director, Yakushi Kabuto.

They were preparing to have Kabuto take in some orphans from Amegakure.

While he's at it, let him check his physical condition and see if there's any way he can cultivate.

Bai Mo felt very reassured about Yakushi Kabuto, whose personality had been corrected by Izanami.

And the personality-corrected Kabuto Yakushi did not disappoint Bai Mo. Taking in orphans was his duty, so he sent someone to pick them up directly.

Regarding Bai Mo's physical condition, Yakushi Kabuto gave Bai Mo an answer after only studying it for one day.

Kabuto Yakushi gave Bai Mo a way to absorb natural energy, allowing Bai Mo to use natural energy instead of chakra to cultivate.

That's all I wanted to say.

Even if Kabuto didn't explain in detail to Bai Mo, Bai Mo could understand.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

Kabuto Yakushi's personality was corrected by Izanami, and now he is highly loyal to Konoha. Even though he was strictly forbidden from conducting any more experiments, he didn't care and focused on doing his job as the director of the orphanage.

Even if he promised Konoha he would stop conducting this type of experiment, he wouldn't casually tell Bai Mo, a complete stranger whose identity and temperament were unknown.

So Bai Mo didn't pay attention at the time. After obtaining the method to absorb natural energy, Bai Mo began to cultivate.

Extracting chakra in the ninja world is a way to achieve balance between the body and mind.

Sage Mode's Sage Chakra is about achieving a balance between the body, mind, and natural energy.

If we substitute the equation, it can also be seen as a combination of one's own chakra and natural energy.

With less natural energy, one cannot enter the immortal mode.

If there is too much natural energy, one will be gradually assimilated, which is worse than death.

Bai Mo, on the other hand, has no chakra; he simply absorbs natural energy.

and.

The white ink absorbed natural energy without any abnormalities, seemingly because the white ink did not need to maintain balance at all—the most stable state is when only one thing exists.

Why do I say "seems"?

Bai Mo didn't know the specifics either.

Bai Mo's current idea is that he needs to find an opportunity to absorb Orochimaru back so that he can figure out the problems within himself.

Otherwise, everything will be based on guesswork.

For example, Bai Mo guessed that he gained the ability to erase time by coming into contact with the advanced techniques of the Otsutsuki clan.

But he later discovered that there was another variable at the time.

While gaining the ability, the natural energy stored in his body rapidly diminished, decreasing by at least four-fifths.

Therefore, during this period, after automatically absorbing natural energy, Bai Mo attempted to inject the natural energy back in the direction of its initial decay and consumption.

As expected, the time deletion capability has been enhanced.

"Kisame, Zabuza, you two leave from this side. After you've dealt with the daimyo as quickly as possible, take a boat and leave the Land of Water right here. Don't wait for us."

Bai Mo pointed in another direction.

"clear."

"Then those people are yours to handle."

Kisame and Zabuza left.

"Let's go help the people who came later."

After a moment of silence, Bai Mo suddenly spoke to Itachi.

Bai Mo knew about one of the major upheavals in Kirigakure—the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was discovered to be under genjutsu control, and Ao broke free of the control. This event occurred around this year.

I just didn't expect it to come at such a convenient time.

It happened right in front of them.

In Kirigakure, Mei Terumi noticed something unusual about the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and suspected that Yagura was under a genjutsu. She then sent Ao, who possessed the Byakugan, to investigate secretly.

Ao used his Byakugan to see that Yagura's chakra was disordered, clearly indicating that he was being controlled by a powerful genjutsu.

So they told the Hidden Mist Village ninjas who shared the same aspirations about this, and decided to help the Fourth Mizukage break free of the genjutsu.

But since Yagura was being controlled, he naturally wouldn't just surrender and wait obediently for the illusion to be broken.

Thus began the great battle in Kirigakure.
