Konoha's magical power is invincible

Lingxiao Palace.

Lao Zi has woken up.

He did not open his eyes, but closed them to feel his lower body.

Unexpectedly weak, he then opened his eyes in shock.

"Where is Sun Wukong? You took Sun Wukong away..."

Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then murmured: "Sun Wukong was taken away, so why am I still alive? Is it an illusion..."

Beside him, Qingkong's shadow clone ignored him, but carefully stared at Qingkong, whose whole body was on fire.

"Fortunately, the shadow clone cannot refine the body, otherwise I would not have suffered the sin of 'barbecuing'!"

"When I thought about it, I suddenly realized that the body has been roasted, and it smells like meat!"

"I'll go, my mouth is drooling!"

After a while, Lao Zi finally recognized that this was not an illusion, but the real world.

He looked around, and the first thing he saw was the shadow clone of Qing Kong beside him, and then he saw Qing Kong sitting cross-legged and meditating in the fire not far away.

At this moment, the air in the room has become extremely hot, and the hard floor near Qingkong has turned red.

Lao Zi stared blankly at Qing Kong, whose whole body was on fire, and said in shock: "What is he doing?"

The shadow clone said: "The main body is refining."

"Physical training? Are you kidding me?"

Lao Zi's face was full of absurdity and he said: "Under such flames, steel will melt. Do you think he is refining his body?"

The shadow clone said: "Isn't this not melted?"

"Well--"

Lao Zi opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

Indeed, although Qingkong's body was bursting with flames and his whole body was red, there were no signs of burns on his body, not even blisters.

For a moment, he felt that he had been careless just now.

"It is indeed an illusion!"

"Konoha's genjutsu is too fake!"

"Sun Wukong, help me remove the illusion!"

"Unsolved! Unsolved! Unsolved!——"

Lao Zi closed his eyes and formed a seal to unravel the illusion, constantly communicating with the four tails, but he felt as if the sealed space in his body had really disappeared, and the hot wind sweeping around him seemed to be real.

When Lao Zi was doubting his life, the absorption of the four tails by the Heavenly Book was coming to an end.

Gradually, all the four-tailed chakra in Qingkong's body was absorbed, and even the chakra that had just spilled outside was rolled back into Qingkong's body, and then was sucked away by the Book of Heaven.

"Rise from the ashes!"

Qingkong shouted, and instantly a trace of light golden air flowed out of his riddled body.

Within a few breaths, the blisters in his meridians disappeared, the cracks recovered, the wounds healed, and the skin on the outside quickly returned to whiteness.

It's just that after using "Rebirth from the Fire", he who was originally a standard figure shriveled up and turned into the rib-shaped figure that Nagato once had.

With a flash of blood between his brows, a piece of clothing appeared in front of Qing Kong, and Qing Kong quickly put it on.

"untie!"

With a low drink, the shadow clone turned into a puff of white smoke and dissipated.

After absorbing the memory of the shadow clone, Qingkong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Lao Zi closed his eyes, otherwise Lao Zibai would have looked at my perfect and innocent body!"

Clenching his slimmer fist, Qingkong instantly felt the incomparable power within it.

boom--!

Just by pumping his fist forward, there was an explosive roar and a powerful air wave.

Aozora held his clenched right arm in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

With the ultimate insight of the magatama samsara eye, he saw that the pores on the surface of his skin had become finer, and his skin color was still fair, but with a light silvery texture.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Qingkong whispered: "The body will be tempered a lot, and it will eventually become a body of steel."

He did not continue the experiment because his slim body was not in his best shape.

The blood between his brows flashed again, and Qingkong took out a large amount of supplies from the divine power space.

First, he injected himself with two nutritional supplements, and then Qingzora began to slowly eat snacks.

The nutrient solution was transported to various parts of the body along with the blood, and was quickly absorbed by Qingkong. The body under his robe slowly filled up like a puff of air, and the ribs in front of him were quickly covered by fat and disappeared.

On the other side, Lao Zi doubted himself for a long time, opened his eyes and found that he was still in the same place, except that Qingkong, who was in the fire before, had put on clothes.

However, it could still be seen from the sunken and burned ground that the scene he saw before was not an illusion.

He looked at Qingkong with a complicated expression and asked, "Where is Sun Wukong?"

Qingkong frowned and said: "The four-tails have completely disappeared. There will be no more four-tails in the future."

He didn't like to be called the Four-Tails by his name. The Sun Wukong in his impression was not such a red gorilla.

Lao Zi didn't believe it: "How is that possible? Tailed beasts are immortal!"

Qingkong shrugged and did not explain to him.

He looked at Lao Zi, eating snacks and thinking about what to do with Lao Zi.

To be honest, when he first captured Lao Zi, he wanted to extract the tailed beast directly, regardless of his life or death.

Because the golden water droplets consumed too much, for the sake of insurance and future safety, he extracted the nine tails and deliberately spared Lao Zi's life.

Now looking at Lao Zi alive, Qingkong doesn't want to kill him anymore.

After all, it took him a lot of energy to save his life, and Heavenly Court hadn't recruited anyone for a long time.

With a roll of his eyes, Qing Kong already had an idea in his mind.

A cold and solemn gaze came from Qingkong's eyes, staring at Lao Zi.

"As my prisoner, I am willing to give you a chance!"

Lao Zi said firmly and unyielding: "I will not surrender. Look at the forehead protector on my forehead. It is always a hard and thick rock. I will never betray Iwagakure and join Konoha."

Qingkong looked calm and said, "I didn't say I wanted you to betray Iwagakure, nor did I ask you to join Konoha."

Lao Zi frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?"

Qingkong did not answer, but asked: "Lao Zi, what have you seen in these years of traveling in the ninja world?"

Lao Zi was silent.

Over the years, he traveled around the ninja world, discussing Taoism with monks and dining with common people.

During this long journey, he saw many scenes that he had never seen before, and learned about the scenes outside the five great ninja villages.

Compared with the overall peaceful and prosperous five major countries, the people of other small countries are simply worse than death. They are daily exploited by local nobles and threatened by endless thieves.

Qingkong knew what he was thinking of and continued to speak unhurriedly.

"Cruel thieves, greedy nobles, weird evil gods... and the five ninja villages of rogues, continue to make the world full of holes, causing countless civilians in the ninja world to suffer endless pain!"

"For more than fifty years, this crying ninja world has told us...the one-country-one-village system will not bring peace!"

When Lao Zi heard this, his pupils tightened and his mind was shaken.

He saw the tragedy of the ninja world, but what he thought of was the injustice of the war between the five great powers, so he left Iwagakure and did not want to participate in those unjust wars. He was only willing to return to the village to defend the village when the village was in danger.

Because of his own knowledge and experience, he has never thought that the root cause of everything is the "one country, one village" system.

He pondered for a moment and asked doubtfully: "But didn't Senju Hashirama end the troubled times?"

Qingkong nodded and said: "Yes, the first Hokage ended the troubled times and allowed the ninja world to enjoy a short period of peace, but that was not the reason for the system, it was just that he was too powerful and no one dared to provoke a war.

If it was really due to the system, then why did the Ninja World start the First Ninja War as soon as he died? "

Lao Zi was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he asked: "Why are you telling me this?"

"In order to end this crying ninja world and create a new era of peace, I formed an organization that absorbed all the powerful ninjas in the ninja village..."

Speaking of this, Qingkong looked into Lao Zi's eyes and said, "Now, I sincerely invite you to join our organization."

Lao Zi did not refuse immediately, but asked: "Why did you invite me?"

Qingkong said: "Because you yearn for peace in your heart, and you are one of the few ninjas who know the suffering of the ninja world. More importantly..."

After a pause, Qingkong opened his hands and said.

"In a new era, we need ninjas from Konoha, and we also need ninjas from other ninja villages."

Lao Zi nodded and asked again: "Then what is the philosophy of your organization?"

Hearing this, the corners of Qingkong's mouth curled up in a slight arc.

He knew that Lao Zi was already inclined to join Tianting.

If you are not interested, why would you ask so many questions?
