Chapter 34

After leaving, Feng exhaled.

Although Orochimaru did not make him an experimental subject on the first day of being his apprentice, it is still a dangerous thing to get close to a person like Orochimaru with his insufficient strength.

However, it appears that the development of the matter is still alright and didn't turn for the worse, not only that but he has also obtained the Cell Activation technique.

Splash! Splash!

Feng walked through the woods and went to a stream. After carefully cleaning the scroll, he carefully read the instructions of the cell activation technique.

After reading it, Feng didn't find any problems with this technique, and even Orochimaru did not try to hide any valuable information regarding it. The pros and cons of this technique were clearly explained in the scroll.

What's written are:

'The human body is in a state of balance.

Our Spiritual energy and Physical energy jointly construct a form of balance to a certain extent, the impact of imbalance is not that big a deal if it was just a tiny difference. However, if the gap between the two is huge then it will cause major repercussions.

The Cell Activation technique is a method to forcibly increase the individual's cell activity, not improve the spiritual energy. Therefore, once you attain a high level of it and your spiritual energy can no longer remain in balance with your physical energy then the individual's body will then collapse. If not then, he/she would grow crazy, and become no different than a monster.

Therefore, in the process of cultivating this, you must always monitor your progress to maintain balance and not just mindlessly cultivate.'

——There are several similar labels.

Feng already knew what these labels meant given his knowledge, such as the balance between his mind and body. He knows mental imbalance, however, this is the first time he has learned of physical imbalance. A simple example of mental imbalance was. If a person's eye was replaced with the Rinnegan. The body would not be able to withstand the spiritual energy coming from it causing the individuals body to fall apart.

Even in the case of Nagato, a member of the Uzumaki Clan which is known for their strong physiques, he still couldn't bear the power of the Rinnegan.

Only the much stronger sage body can truly withstand its power and achieve a balance between spiritual and physical energy.

The same applies with the Cell Activation technique of Orochimaru.

If he has no strong spiritual energy to maintain the balance, then once his cells are activated to a high degree, his physical energy will be out of proportion with his spiritual energy and there would be a high probability that his body will explode due to that!

"Cell Activation technique... this technique should be regarded as the cultivation method of a 'pseudo sage body', no. It's far from reaching it, at most it's only about a third."

Feng pondered in his heart.

Hashirama Senju not only has a huge amount of life force and strong physical energy, but when he activates his Sage Mode his Spiritual energy would also skyrocket, obtaining a balance between the two. The Cell Activation technique is only a third of that, and the effect is far inferior to that of someone with a Sage body, and it also doesn't provide the individual a method to cultivate natural energy.

If Sage Mode is cultivated on the basis of cell activation technique, and the two are combined together then it should be counted as a 'pseudo sage body'. Kabuto during the Fourth Ninja War should be in this state.

And one step further should be the real sage body!

"In this way, the body and spirit are divided into three levels. The body should be like: Cell Activation, pseudo Sage body, and the real Sage body."

"On the spiritual side it should be like; Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, and finally the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

Feng felt that his judgment should be correct.

With the combination of the chakra of both Uchiha and Senju you can obtain the Rinnegan. And then, either by being the Jinjurki of the ten tails or be blessed by the power of Hagoromo Otsutsuki would you then be able to obtain the body of Sage of the Six-Paths and finally be able to use the Six-Paths mode.

All in all.

With the cell activation technique as a basis, the hazy path in front of him was almost wiped out!

After Feng returned to the village. He ate first before he returned home, went to his courtyard, sat cross-legged, and placed the scroll in front of him.

"Let's get started."

...

Somewhere beneath Konoha.

Root base.

Danzo stood with his cane supporting him, listening to the report from the ninja behind him, although his expression was indifferent his hand was obviously gripping the cane with force.

"Orochimaru..."

He can't accept the news that Feng suddenly became Orochimaru's disciple.

In his opinion, the only path for Feng to take is either to become an ANBU, or to be placed in Root, and as long as he made some arrangements, it should be easy for him to obtain Feng and place him under Root to cultivate.

But the sudden appearance of Orochimaru disrupted his intention.

Moreover, Sarutobi's attitude is still ambiguous. It seemed that he has not completely abandoned the idea of ​​letting Orochimaru succeed as the Fourth Hokage. This development very much annoyed him.

"How's the negotiation?"

"Master Hokage signed a contract with Mist... together with Cloud. Their delegates should be leaving soon."

The Root ninja responded in a deep voice.

Hearing the report from his subordinate, Danzo's grip on the cane tightened once again.

With Konoha's current strength, even if it was facing two or even three villages at the same time, it can still fight. They only need to take the initiative to attack and destroy a village. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen has no intention of starting a war.

It is clearly the best time for Konoha to unify the world of Ninja!

But still, the treaty between villages should have their positive marks

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly. Now, Hidden Mist would not casually start a war without having given benefits. However, if he can think of a way on starting a conflict between Hidden Cloud and Hidden Rock Village. Then it would be the best time for Konoha to strike and take advantage of the situation.

Danzo took a breath, looked up deeply, and muttered in his heart: 'Sarutobi. Since you don't want to start a war, then let me help you.

Between the issues of starting a war and unifying the whole Ninja world. Problems like Feng or Orochimaru are just trivial matters for him.

Everything can be manipulated during the chaos!

...

Hatake Household.

Inside a courtyard.

Feng has practiced for four hours in the outside world however twelve hours have already passed for him.

It took him about four hours to become familiar with the cultivation method of the Cell Activation technique, and then he spent the other eight hours on training the fundamentals.

"Is this the effects of cell activation..."

Feng opened his eyes.

After one day of substantial practice, he finally felt some subtle changes. Ordinary people may not be aware of it, but as a shinobi, he can still clearly feel the difference in his body. His cells seem to become a little more alive.

The most direct feeling it brings is that his body seems to be more relaxed than before, and his energy and chakra consumption has also reduced.

Under normal circumstances, even if he didn't practice taijutsu for a period of time, his body would still be exhausted from his chakra expenditure, but now, his fatigue was much smaller than usual.

"The effect is obvious, but it seems to make me more hungry."

Feng touched his stomach.

Before he completes the cell activation technique. I am afraid that he is going to be the king of glutton, eating 9 times a day may not be able to meet his demand.

'Hmm, when Orochimaru practices, does he swallow an entire food then just cultivate for several days straight?' Feng muttered in his heart.

That's highly likely.
