Chapter 182 C-level reward: Mind Puppet

"OK then."

Kabuto Yakushi checked Hyuga Neji's condition again, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he explained:

"Then, I'll go to bed first. It's in the lounge next door.

"If anything unexpected happens, you can come to me at any time."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and said nothing.

Yakushi Kabuto stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said:
"correct!
"Tonight, no matter what you hear or see, never, never touch the water tank outside the door."

Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses and sneered:
"That's a very dangerous thing."

Uchiha Sasuke was startled.

If Medicine Master Kabuto hadn't said anything, he might have forgotten about that weird water tank.

But at the same time, it also looks very dull, as if it is an empty shell, without any features worthy of attention.

The night is deep.

Speaking of which, compared to the senior netizens on the forum, Sasuke rarely stayed up late.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but sigh and raised his head again.

Finally, I still can't figure out how to use it properly in combat.

Uchiha Sasuke secretly assessed.

Sure enough, a line of small words appeared above the blue scroll, which read:

[Note: An ancient ninja weapon. It seems that it comes from a mountain clan who was carried away by love]

Just as he was about to ask, Kabuto Yakushi had already disappeared behind the door and left.

At this time, Neji was in a stable state, the surroundings were quiet, and Uchiha Sasuke opened the system with ease.

Its eyes are two carefully sewn black beads, unable to move, looking hollowly ahead.

Seal the enemy's soul into the puppet.

[When the puppet is severely damaged, it can no longer be used. At the same time, the target parasitized among the puppets will also die together. 】

The doll's face is also similar to the overall style. It is neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor fearful, and does not have any vivid expressions.

The surroundings suddenly became very quiet.

But every time he stayed up late, he would habitually go to the forum to see what the seniors would talk about.

It seems to be very powerful.

【I like you so much! It would be great if I could put you in my pocket and take you away! 】

On the hospital bed, Hinata Neji's breathing was steady and his face was peaceful.

"Ugh"

Uchiha Sasuke perked up, looked at the scroll with azure light in his mind, and hurriedly recited in his heart:

[You have opened the C-level scroll, congratulations on getting the spiritual treasure prop: Mind Puppet]

As for "I like you" and "wear it on my body", these slutty words.

Every stitch and thread on the doll looks extremely neat.

Sasuke didn't know why, so he continued reading and saw a new line of detailed instructions:
[After obtaining the target's consent, the target's soul can be transferred into the puppet. If the puppet is damaged, the target will be affected accordingly. 】

[Congratulations on completing your proposal - you successfully defected to Orochimaru on the grounds that you wanted to take revenge on Danzo Shimura. Obtain a C-level scroll! 】

From Sasuke's point of view, it was a fucking waste of time.

I almost forgot about it.

So he hung it casually on his waist and put it away for the time being.

Just listen to the sound of "Ding!", and a wonderful notification comes from the system——

The mouth is lightly outlined with black lines, as if it has traveled through countless time, telling ancient and distant stories one after another.

Its body is sewn from rough gray cotton, with clean lines and no ornate decoration.

At this point, only Sasuke and the unconscious Hinata Neji were left in the room.

turn on.

You must first "obtain the consent of the target". This prerequisite
In an instant, this spiritual treasure became meaningless in Sasuke's eyes.

Since it is a C-level scroll, it will definitely not be an ordinary rough doll.

Resisting the urge to throw it away, Uchiha Sasuke held the "Mind Puppet" in his hands and looked at it several times.

Uchiha Sasuke quickly returned to the system again, trying to find more explanatory information on the scroll.

A long day.

As the scroll opened, a rough rag doll half the size of a palm appeared out of thin air in Uchiha Sasuke's hands.

but!

All around, there was only the sound of electric current from instruments and the unknown sound of water flowing in a monotonous and continuous sound.

Looking at Neji on the hospital bed, Sasuke's eyelids gradually became heavy under the continuous white noise.

"Sasuke.

"Sasuke!
"Hey!!"

In a daze, Sasuke only heard a familiar voice calling him.

Looking up, there was that friendly orange figure standing next to him.

Uzumaki, Naruto!
"伱? Why are you here!!"

Uchiha Sasuke was startled and couldn't help but jump up immediately.

"I'll take care of you! When will we do it?!"

Uzumaki Naruto grinned.

That smiling face is so sunny, so familiar and kind.

"What action?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned and had no idea what the other party was talking about.

"I know everything! Jiraiya told me everything!
"You are currently carrying out a secret mission, and I am here to help you!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked excited and said in a low voice.

"Nonsense! Who asked you to come?"

Uchiha Sasuke's mind was confused and he felt himself becoming confused.

"Tell me, what is your mission? I can help you."

Uzumaki Naruto smiled and stretched out his long tongue to lick it.

"wait wait wait."

Uchiha Sasuke covered his head with a splitting headache and tried his best to calm down.

"Did you just call Jiraiya?
"Didn't you always call him the lustful immortal?"

Uchiha Sasuke rubbed his head and continued to ask:
"Besides, this place is heavily guarded. How did you get in and find me directly?"

Naruto's strange look made Sasuke suspicious. At this moment, he expressed his doubts and exposed the other party's conspiracy.

"Hahahahaha, right?"

However, the fake Uzumaki Naruto was not entangled with him at all.

Laughing, he turned around and ran out.

Uchiha Sasuke was about to catch up, but he was worried about Hyuga Neji who was in a coma.

Turning around, he saw that the Hyuga Neji who had been sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed had completely disappeared.

What replaced it was a piece of charred, curled snake skin!

Uchiha Sasuke was horrified, and his scalp immediately felt numb.

What, when? !

Worrying about his friend's safety, Sasuke immediately stopped caring and chased the fake Naruto in the direction where he disappeared.

When he walked out of the door, his eyes suddenly turned dark.

Sasuke blinked hard, adjusting the size of his pupils, trying to quickly adapt to the dark environment.

Compared to the brightness in the ward, the hall in the outhouse was dark.

Only the water tank and the instruments in the corner emitted dim electronic blue light.

In the dark room, Uchiha Sasuke felt his heart pounding and walked forward cautiously.

“Ding-deng-deng-deng.”

A burst of scattered footsteps came from far to near.

Uchiha Sasuke looked up, and not far away, his mentor Jiraiya stumbled over, covered in blood.

"Master Toad!!"

Uchiha Sasuke was confused and quickly stepped forward to help him.

Jiraiya's condition was extremely poor, his face was pale, and he was breathless. He gently touched Sasuke's face with his palm and said weakly:
"Don't, don't forget, everything you promised me.

"Remember, you want, you want to bring unprecedented stability and peace to the ninja world."

"Don't say anything yet. Who hurt you like this?!"

Assistant Uchiha hurriedly placed Jiraiya beside the huge water tank and let him sit down on it.

He asked in a panic, trying to figure out how injured Jiraiya was at this moment.

Looking carefully, he only saw a thick mass of blood on Jiraiya's chest.

Moreover, blood was still oozing out.

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and tore Jiraiya's clothes apart.

All he saw was three deep claw marks in front of his chest, and the stark white bones were clearly visible.

If you look carefully, you can even see the dark red internal organs moving weakly between the ribs.

Sasuke felt his throat tightening. Jiraiya's injuries were so miserable that it was unbearable to see.

Uchiha Sasuke was shaking violently.

His hands, body, and face were all stained with Master's blood, and the bright red blood seemed to burn him like fire.

In the midst of chaos, suddenly, the water tank behind Jiraiya turned into a huge mouth of the abyss.

Uchiha Sasuke reached out to grab it, but he couldn't react in time.

Jiraiya fell on his back, staring at Sasuke with his eyes fixed on him, and continued to fall into the bottomless black hole. "Master!!!"

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were filled with tears until Jiraiya in his field of vision turned into a red dot.

He looked up again, and the huge water tank in front of him had disappeared.

Instead, what appeared there was an orange demon fox with nine tails.

I saw red chakra surge everywhere, sweeping the entire space.

In front of the demon fox, Uchiha Sasuke was as small as an ant.

The tragedy of losing his mentor left Sasuke still frozen in great grief and fear.

Kyuubi lowered its huge head.

In his nose, the fishy breath sprayed directly on Sasuke's face.

"Roar--!!"

As Kyuubi roared, the surrounding space trembled.

Uchiha Sasuke felt his eyes go dark as he was swallowed directly into the mouth by the giant beast.

"No--!!"

Uchiha Sasuke woke up suddenly, his heart beating violently in his chest.

He was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

It was as if a drowning man had just returned to the shore and survived.

All around, there was still the monotonous sound of electricity and the unknown sound of water flow.

On the hospital bed, Hinata Neji was still breathing steadily, with a peaceful face, lying there quietly.

Everything is as it was before falling asleep.

Yes, a dream?

Or is it the influence of some illusion?
Uchiha Sasuke felt his violent heartbeat, and his chaotic mind gradually calmed down.

He stood up and walked to the door of the nearby cubicle. Looking through the crack in the door, Yakushi Kabuto was curled up on a single bed, sleeping soundly.

After observing for a few minutes, Sasuke confirmed that Kabuto Yakushi was not pretending to sleep.

Afterwards, I walked around the operating room and found nothing strange.

Uchiha Sasuke was confused and walked back again while recalling the strange dream.

As I walked around, I felt a faint feeling of a foreign object on my waist.

Looking down, the coarse rag doll that I got as a reward was shaking slightly.

Uchiha Sasuke took it off, held it in his hand and observed it carefully again.

There is nothing strange about the simple-looking [Psychic Puppet], and it still maintains its dull expression.

"Is that you, little one?"

Uchiha Sasuke murmured to himself.

Or maybe he was just too tired.

I think about it every day and dream about it at night.

In that weird dream, whether it was Jiraiya's death or Kyuubi's rampage, it could be said that they were all extremely terrifying things in his subconscious.

The nerves that had been tense all day refused to relax easily, even in a dream.

Or, it could simply be the reason for Orochimaru's underground base.

Speaking of which, the atmosphere here is really weird.

Just as Uchiha Sasuke was calming down, he heard the boy's laughter again.

In an instant, Sasuke felt a chill that made his skin crawl.

Listening to the direction, the sound came from the direction of the huge water tank outside the house.

Maybe it was influenced by the dream just now.

Or maybe it was Kabuto the pharmacist's warning before leaving that gave rise to his rebellious psychology.

Driven by unknown emotions, Uchiha Sasuke finally decided to walk out of the door and go to the huge water tank to find out.

Just think of it as curiosity.

In the hall, everything was like in a dream.

Compared to the brightness in the ward, it was dark outside.

Only the huge water tank and the various instruments scattered in the corners emitted a faint electronic blue light.

Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath, strode forward, and stared coldly at the identification sticker on the corner of the water tank.

At the same time, the liquid in the water tank began to roll and surge slowly but turbulently, as if there were spirits.

Although there was no interference from any external force, the liquid in the water tank began to stir and stir.

Regarding the strange phenomenon in the water tank, Uchiha Sasuke turned a blind eye and continued to read the information on the marking paper.

[Name: Ghost Lantern Shuiyue]

[Source: Ghost Lantern Clan]

[Ability Level: Secret Skill]

[Ability 1, Hydration Technique: A secret ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation by the Oniden clan, which can turn the body into a liquid state and make it immune to physical attacks.

[Research shows that under the influence of Thunder Release, it can be paralyzed, which can lead to...]

"boom!!"

A loud noise suddenly came from the water tank.

It seemed as if a big fat fish was hitting the thick glass wall of the water tank hard.

Sasuke was stunned, glanced inside the water tank, and then returned his gaze to the sticker.

He read on as if nothing had happened:

【.As a result, it cannot be fully liquefied. The experiment log is as follows: In the early summer of the 3rd year of the Otoyin Ninja Village, the experimental subject was struck with Thunder Release and Boom Thunder, lasting two seconds.]

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang!!!"

In the water tank, a giant liquid fist was beating against the thick glass wall.

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke raise his head again, the fist immediately dissipated.

The next second, a ferocious young man's face suddenly swooped in front of Sasuke.

Through the transparent glass wall, a shrill roar came from the mouth.

Uchiha Sasuke watched the performance of the monster in the water tank with cold eyes. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said indifferently:
"Don't cause trouble."

"whispering sound"

Seeing that he couldn't scare Sasuke, the boy suddenly felt bored and returned to his original appearance.

Floating in the water tank was a naked boy with white hair and purple eyes.

He was grinning, revealing two rows of shark-like teeth.

A string of bubbles rose up from his mouth, and he laughed and said:

"You're the new kid, you're quite brave."

"Is this your idea of ​​fun? Playing the haunted house staff?"

Uchiha Sasuke retorted.

Ever since he was captured by Orochimaru and imprisoned in this place, Kiden Suigetsu has been living in extreme pain.

There is no end in sight, cruel experiments day after day, and, forever sealed in this water tank, freedom is absolutely restricted.

For Suigetsu, scaring the new Otogakure ninja is indeed the only pleasure he has had in the past few years——

After all, those old faces are already familiar with his boring tricks and have long distanced themselves from him.

At this moment, Sasuke put it straight and called himself "the staff who plays the role of a haunted house".

Such precise but contemptuous positioning really made Shuiyue feel very angry and humiliated.

The boy once again expanded into a ball of liquid, leaving only a face.

The ferocious eyes and sharp teeth were stuck to the glass wall, and he shouted loudly:

"You are the one who works in the haunted house for people's entertainment! You, you."

Ghost Deng Shuiyue was so angry that he couldn't find the right words to fight back, so he had to continue shouting:
"Good boy, if you have the guts, leave your name!

"When I get out, the first one will kill Orochimaru, and the second one will cut you in half!!"

"Cut it off with what?"

Uchiha Sasuke continued to read the information on the water tank while recalling the naked appearance of Suigetsu.

He couldn't help but sneer and said:

"Friend, you don't even have a dress."

"Go away! Didn't that bastard Kabuto Yakushi warn you? Stay away from me!! Don't be an eyesore in front of me!!"

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue immediately jumped into a rage, and the entire water tank seemed to be boiling, rolling violently under the agitation of Shuiyue.

He was once again stabbed in a sore spot by Uchiha Sasuke, and at this time, his inner defenses were completely broken.

"Shh, be quiet."

Uchiha Sasuke waved his hand and closed his eyes.

I began to search for the surname "Guiyue" on my own.

He always felt like he had seen it somewhere.

After a long time, with the help of his talent [Eternal Memory], Sasuke finally remembered.

A few months ago, when he was still in the Kirigakure Ninja Village, he conspired with Terumi Mei and others to overthrow the cruel regime of the Fourth Mizukage.

At that time, while listening to Terumi Mei's introduction about the coup led by Momochi Zabuza in the Blood Mist, the other party had repeatedly mentioned a ninja——

Ghost lamp full moon.

//
"On the night of the coup, the Kaguya clan, Zabuza, and Demon Lantern agreed to attack at the same time. After a night of fierce fighting."

"Zabuza escaped and became a traitorous ninja. The strongest genius among his peers, Kito Mangetsu, died in battle. The Kaguya clan, the strongest in the ninja village, were all slaughtered and the clan was completely exterminated."

//
In his mind, Terumi Mei's mature and elegant voice sounded again.

Recalling this, Uchiha Sasuke came back to his senses, stared at the ferocious water monster in front of him, and asked:
"Do you know the genius ninja of Kirigakure Ninja Village, Kiden Mangetsu?"
