The Life of a Villain Starting From Naruto

Chapter 50: Immortal with a Longevity and Boundless Life

 The feeling of being "reverse channeled" is amazing.

If I had to use words to describe it, it was that the consciousness and the body seemed to be twisted into a rope at that moment, disappearing from the real world in a trance, and then reappearing in another place, with the body returning to its original state.

 After passing this infinitesimal time scale, Hinata Yuuto and Tsunade appeared in a strange place.

 This is a vast... forest.

But the trees are too huge, each one at least twenty meters in diameter. Their branches are so luxuriant that they completely block the sky. The ground is an endless swamp with rich water vapor.

 According to common sense, super large forests and swamps of this level should support countless animals.

But Hinata Yuuto observed carefully for a long time and could not see any life except trees, not even the insects known as the "most vitality".

 There is no other life that can live on this land.

 This is the Shigu Forest, where the immortals live.

"Don't look at it. Apart from the two of us, there are only Slug Immortals here." Tsunade exhaled. As a Senju, she didn't really like this silent wasteland of life:

"Come a few times to get familiar with it, but remember, don't stay here for too long. There are not even microorganisms in the Moist Bone Forest. If humans live here for a long time, they will have big problems with their bodies... Just follow me I have been learning medical ninjutsu for more than half a year, so I should understand this truth."

Hinata Yuuto blinked his eyes and said strangely:

 “I thought there would be countless slugs here...”

"How is that possible?" The blond woman touched the disciple's head and found that he had grown a little taller:

“There is only one psychic beast, the slug, in the world. Those slugs, big and small, are all split from the immortal slug.”

“…Huh? But teacher, why do I feel that they all seem to have autonomous consciousness…”

"The division of the slug includes the body, chakra, vitality, thinking, memory and consciousness. It is a bit like a shadow clone. When summoned by necromancy, the body will be divided according to the amount of chakra released by the caster."

 “Only when they are completely gathered together, they are immortals.”

"And those that split off, you can understand them as the offspring of slugs in a sense. Of course, they will still return to their original bodies after the channeling."

The only one in the world, Hinata Yuuto thought of this word. This way of living in the world is different from the "White Snake Sage" of Ryūchi Cave and the "Toad Sage" of Mt. Myoboku.

 The boy who separated from the family seemed to have thought of something and said uncertainly:

 “So Explosive Blade Spray… was recast here?”

 “Hmm.” Tsunade began to lead her apprentice forward:

“The properties of that piece of silk are very strange. It can conduct chakra and withstand ultra-high-intensity impacts. I can only ask the Slug Immortal for help.”

 Hinata Yuuto followed Tsunade thoughtfully.

Even when I was reading comics in my previous life, the three holy places in the ninja world were mysterious places shrouded in clouds and fog. Among them, Mt. Miaomu, which appeared most frequently, can be said to have influenced the entire main line.

From the time when Toad Sage revealed the truth about the sacred tree to the Otsutsuki brothers thousands of years ago, to when he told Jiraiya about the prophecies in dreams and the teaching of celestial arts decades ago, the toad that lived for who knows how many years has been watching from the depths of Mt. Miaomu. In the ninja world, destiny is changed at the most critical point.

 The "white snake" and "slug", which are as famous as toads, were not mentioned much in the original work, but after traveling to the real world of Naruto, Hyuga Yuuto had to consider the ideas of these two immortals.

 After all, what he will do in the future will definitely change the established destiny of the Naruto world.

　　 Tsunade took Hinata Yuuto for a long time, and finally came to an open space, surrounded by large trees and swamps, except for the abrupt flat land here.

 There is a stone platform in the middle, with a long black bandage placed on it, but nothing else.

  —There is no sign of the Slug Immortal.

However, the next moment, the swamp and the forest trembled together, and a gentle female voice came from beneath the earth.

"Little Tsunade." Hinata Yuuto realized that the Slug Immortal lived deep underground in the Marshy Bone Forest. The natural energy and chakra seeping out of it were so strong that it created this strange Marshy Bone Forest.

  But precisely because the entire wet bone forest is affected by the Slug Immortal, there will be no life except trees.

But, Immortal Slug, why don’t you come out? Are you afraid that the majestic immortal body like mountains and seas will cause death to all living beings...or are you afraid that you won't be able to get out at all? Hyuga Yuto had a disrespectful thought in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He knelt down on one knee with his teacher and listened to the immortal's teachings.

"Little Tsunade, on the stone platform, there is something you asked me to make."

 “Thank you, Immortal Slug.” The blonde woman said softly. She had been frequenting Shigu Forest since she was a girl, and Immortal Slug was like an elder in front of her.

"Little Tsunade...is the boy next to you the one who wrote his name on the psychic blood contract last time?"

“Yes, Slug Immortal, Yuuto…”

 “Hyuga Yuuto has seen the immortal!” The boy from the separated family spoke in a timely manner, with a respectful attitude, and could not fault him at all.

However, the eternal slug remained silent for a long time.

Just when Hyuga Yuuto and Tsunade thought that Slug Sento had fallen asleep, a gentle female voice roared from the ground again:

“Hinata Yuuto...your eyes seem to reflect a future that I can’t even imagine.”

　　The heartbeat of the separated boy almost skipped a beat. He almost jumped up and used reverse necromancy to bring himself back to the real world.

However, he finally tensed up, tried hard to control his muscles, and replied calmly:

"I dare to ask Slug Sage, what do you see in my eyes? As a Konoha ninja, will the peace I hope for really appear in the future?"

 “Ah...the future.” The slug seemed to be sighing:

"No one can see clearly what the future will look like. Even the three of us can only peek into the insignificant cracks in destiny..."

 It’s okay if you can’t see it. It’s so scary. Hinata Yuuto breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly glanced at the blond woman next to him and found that there was nothing wrong with Tsunade's expression. Instead, she looked a little happy and relieved. Seeing him looking at her, she even laughed at him.

In Tsunade's eyes, the "unimaginable future" mentioned by Slug Sage probably means approval and affirmation, which means that his apprentice, as a ninja, may reach an unimaginable realm in the future.

"Little Tsunade, take that new ninja tool and go back to Konoha first. Yuuto stays here. The old immortal guy still needs to talk to the children more."

The blonde woman was unprepared and said "Okay" briskly, then went to the stone platform to get the black bandage, and patted Hinata Yuuto's shoulder:

 “Let’s talk to the Slug Immortal.”

 Tsunade really trusts Slug, who has been in a blood contract for more than 20 years and has taken good care of her since he was a child. The same is true for the relationship between Toad and Jiraiya.

Hinata Yuuto watched Tsunade leave helplessly, feeling quite like a parent taking him to visit relatives and then leaving him to play mahjong.

 After the blond woman left, Slug Fairy's voice sounded again, and this time the words he spoke were more...direct.

 “Many, many years ago.”

“A man who had insight into destiny made a prophecy for the three of us.”

The Immortal with Boundless Life paused and seemed to be recalling the man’s words:

“The toad dies of old age, the white snake sheds its skin, and the slug lives forever.”
