I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

For example, chakra.

Under the stimulation of banned drugs, his chakra reserves were no less than those of some Jonin.

Their physical abilities are also far superior to those of other ninjas of the same age.

Of course, these outstanding achievements are all achieved by overworking one's body.

Six months ago, he appeared healthy, but in reality, he was riddled with wounds.

According to Nono, it's uncertain whether he will even live to be twenty-five.

In fact, even without Nono's prompting, Naraku was aware of his physical condition.

Just as Naraku chose to use banned drugs to unleash his potential, he was even more aware that being weak was far more fatal than overdrawing his life force.

The root organization has never been a charity.

Even though he deliberately concealed some of his strength, preferring to remain a reserve member within the organization to reduce his chances of being assigned to high-risk missions.

But no matter how much they try to escape, most of the Root organization's missions are extremely dangerous.

Therefore, rather than be killed by others due to insufficient strength, he would rather overdraw his life to gain greater strength.

This choice was not made to better complete the task, but for freedom.

Now, let's talk about the present.

As Nono said, Naraku has made a change and stopped taking the banned drugs.

The reason goes without saying.

With the awakening of his past life memories and the appearance of the bronze tower, he had better options and naturally began to cherish his life.

"Alright, I've handed the task over to you, so I'll be going now."

The two chatted for a while longer before Nono got up, seemingly preparing to leave.

"Are you in a hurry?" Naraku suddenly asked, gazing at Nono's graceful figure beneath her combat suit.

Nonou paused, her gaze meeting Naraku's.

Their eyes met, and noticing Naraku's slight smile, Nono understood what Naraku meant.

The next second, Nono gave her answer with her actions.

She turned and walked towards Naraku, and silently began to take off her combat suit.

Seeing this, Naraku smiled and took off his clothes, then put his arm around Nonou who was walking over.

With nothing more to say, Naraku simply reached out and pinched Nonou's chin before lowering his head to kiss her cherry lips.

With a soft moan, the two of them lay down on the double sofa where Nono had been sitting.

Before long, Naraku was already quite adept at communicating with his captain.

The internal workings of the root organization are brutal, and therefore very oppressive.

Although Danzo brainwashed the members of the Root organization, how could a person's consciousness be so easily erased?

Those who are recruited into the Root organization are all geniuses.

In reality, only a very small number of people within the Root organization have been completely brainwashed.

More often than not, people simply choose to suppress their emotions under oppressive rule.

But people's emotions are not so easy to suppress.

Once the threshold is exceeded, it can easily lead to mental breakdown.

Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to vent emotions.

For example, Nono, at this time of year, often goes to orphanages to relieve her emotions by taking care of orphans.

Naraku, on the other hand, was more brutal.

When I was young, it was through fighting.

Nowadays, it's done through fighting.

kindness.

The former fight was between men.

The latter fight is between men and women.

The latter's opponent in the fight was none other than Yakushi Nonou, who was his team leader.

Perhaps it's because Naraku is quite good-looking.

It could also be because Naraku also came from an orphanage.

Anyway, when Naraku suddenly decided to fight Nono, Nono did not refuse. The two then went through an important life-changing experience and have maintained this relationship tacitly ever since.

Inside the sealed room, Naraku sometimes knelt and sometimes squatted, causing the sofa to gradually become shaky and precarious, as if it would fall apart at any moment.

in the future.

The exchange lasted for more than an hour.

After Nono left a while earlier, Naraku also leisurely left the weapon shop.

Chapter 5: The Seal to Root Out the Tongue

Go home.

Covered in sweat, Naraku went straight into the bathroom and took a refreshing shower.

After washing up, Naraku stood in front of the sink and reached out to wipe the fog off the mirror.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly stuck out his tongue.

When chakra is refined and condensed on the tongue, black lines immediately appear on the surface of the tongue.

This is precisely the "Sign of Extinction from the Roots" that is placed on every member of the Root organization.

The "Seal of Severing the Root of Trouble" is the key technique Danzo used to control the root of all evil.

Although the root also engages in various forms of brainwashing.

But just like Naraku and Nono, the main reason why the Root members had to obey Danzo was the "Seal of the Extinction of Tongue".

This mantra has three functions.

The first is to prevent Root organization personnel from leaking any information about Danzo or the organization.

The second point is that Danzo, as the caster, could control the lives of Root members from a certain distance.

The third is that Danzo, as the caster, could sense the location of each spell seal.

It must be said that Danzo's desire to control the Root organization was extremely perverse.

In some respects, the "Tongue Twister Seal" even surpasses the Hyuga clan's "Caged Bird" curse seal.

"If you want to gain freedom, the first thing you need to deal with is this cursed seal!" Naraku looked at the cursed seal on his tongue, his feigned peace completely shattered, and his eyes filled with coldness.

No one wants their life controlled by another, especially by an enemy.

Naraku was indeed an orphan, and even before being forcibly recruited by the Root organization, he was raised by the Konoha Orphanage.

However, Naraku knew very well that he was not actually a person of Konoha, or even a person of the Land of Fire.

Because his parents came from the land of rivers.

The River Country is located between the Fire Country and the Wind Country.

When the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind were at war, the Land of Rivers was one of the battlefields between the two countries.

Naraku's parents were originally villagers in a village in the Land of Rivers, but the war between the states of Wind and Fire affected the village, causing it to be completely destroyed.

His parents died in the blast, and he, who was three years old at the time, survived by using his parents' bodies as cover.

As for why he eventually ended up in the Konoha orphanage, it was because Konoha won the battle.

The major ninja villages have a long-standing tradition of adopting war orphans.

This is not due to the benevolence of the various ninja villages, but because orphans are also a type of resource in war.

Especially when one possesses ninja qualifications.

Just like every time a war breaks out, a large number of cannon fodder will perish on the battlefield.

Most of these cannon fodder were ninjas trained by various ninja villages from war orphans.

The same goes for Naraku.

When he was discovered by the Konoha ninja, because of his young age and the fact that he was deemed qualified to become a ninja, he was not killed, but was instead used as a resource and transported back to the Konoha orphanage.

As for why Naraku knew so much about his origins, it wasn't because someone told him, but because it was something he had experienced firsthand.

That's right. Although Naraku did not awaken his past life memories before, he was reborn with some special features. That is, he began to remember things from birth.

In other words, he remembers the deaths of his parents very clearly.

Because of his own abnormality, even though he tried to hide it, he still appeared more mature than his peers.

Perhaps because of this, Naraku was chosen when the Root organization was selecting seeds at the orphanage.
