"No, no, no! Stop! Stop right now!"
"Please, please! I'm begging you, stop, alright…?"
"Spare me! Spare me! Spare me!!!"
On the outskirts of the Forest of Death, Urashiki could only scream in despair.
He struggled desperately, shaking his body with all his might, but Infinite Lock's seal was still there!
The chakra and strength inside his body could not be used at all!
On top of that, he had already been beaten by Kai until he was practically out of oil and at the end of his lamp. No matter how he struggled, it was useless.
He could only watch helplessly…
Watch as a pitch-black chakra sphere above his forehead spun while absorbing the chakra, blood, and vitality inside his body!
After more than ten seconds, his screams grew weaker and weaker…
In the end, all that remained in place was a dried-up man who was nothing but skin and bones, his aura nearly completely gone!
"If this thing were dragged under a pyramid, wouldn't those bandits steal it home and eat it clean?"
Kai stood up and moved a little farther away in disgust.
"How is this any different from a mummy that's been air-dried for hundreds of years?"
"So should I call it… dried chicken?"
He lowered his head and spread his palm.
Above it, a black pill the size of a longan fruit, giving off a faint dark glow, was spinning smoothly.
Looking closely, there seemed to be streaks of flowing light and stars flickering inside the pill. A faint chakra fluctuation vaguely spread from it.
"This is… a chakra essence pill?"
Kai hesitated slightly and brought it under his nose to sniff.
There was not much smell at the entrance of his nose, only a trace of sweet, fragrant freshness.
It probably…
Wasn't bitter, right?
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, pill refinement successful. Randomly obtained Epic Pill: Chakra Essence Pill!]
[Effect: After consumption, temporarily doubles chakra quantity and permanently increases certain attributes: life, spirit, or speed.]
"Hm? This pill seems… a little different from what I saw just now…"
Looking at the prompt before his eyes, Kai's little hand paused slightly.
He had originally thought this thing was similar to soldier pills, something that could restore chakra.
But he had not expected an unexpected surprise.
A permanent increase to certain attributes.
Especially life!
The moment he saw those two words, his eyes could no longer move away.
He even completely ignored the other two attributes behind it.
Forget spirit or speed. Even reaction speed was not as good as life!
"This… I hope it means true lifespan…"
Kai took a deep breath, his gaze carrying unprecedented sincerity.
Without exaggeration, this was the first time he had been this devout since coming to the shinobi world!
Increasing life!
Putting aside the strange lifespans of the Ōtsutsuki clan, increasing life was simply the best ninjutsu in the shinobi world!
No exceptions.
Of course, when he had not possessed such a thing before, Kai himself had not cared much. Or rather, most transmigrators would not care much.
But!
Once they learned there was a way to increase lifespan, and that method was currently in their hands—
This army of transmigrators from Blue Star would awaken a certain attribute:
Fighting for life!
Longevity!
It was something written into the genes of every Chinese transmigrator army.
There was also another gene—
Growing vegetables.
Wherever they transmigrated, they planted there!
Whoosh—
A breeze blew past, sweeping across the entire outer region of the Forest of Death.
Or rather—
The new Forest of Death.
Leaves rustled softly.
Other than that, there was no other sound.
The three little ones turned their heads from far away. They wanted to look, but could only feel a strange power.
Even looking from a great distance made them feel as if their souls were trembling!
"Th-this, this is… an evil technique?!"
After staring for a long time, future Sasuke, who had gone completely numb, looked at that pitch-black pill and finally murmured.
Then he turned toward the "dried corpse" on the ground.
A chill rushed straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
His back was covered in cold sweat!
So…
This was how Second Brother refined pills!
But!!
He had never seen such a sinister method before—
Using a person's life to refine medicine!
This second brother from the past time-space, Uchiha Kai, had far too wild a path!
No, it was not even wild anymore.
He had stepped onto some kind of evil path!
That was why the words "evil technique" slipped out of Sasuke's mouth.
"Hm?"
Hearing this, Kai subconsciously glanced at him.
Just that one glance made future Sasuke tremble. He hurriedly pressed his lips together, lowered his head, and said nothing.
His body shivered faintly.
A fear rooted deep in his bloodline gradually began spreading…
He!
Finally remembered again the pain of being ruled by his second brother when he was young!
Pain!
Too painful!
Especially every time Second Brother had coaxed him into stealing their old father's private savings. Yet just when Sasuke obtained the money through all kinds of accidents, their old father would immediately arrive with a stick in hand!
And the next time, all it took was half a tri-color dango to tempt him into doing it again…
Those were tears of blood!
"I… I… holy crap!"
Jiraiya watched for a long time before finally blurting out a phrase he had been hearing often recently.
His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty!
He swallowed, feeling as if his throat had gone dry!
This method…
Was even more sinister than Orochimaru's!
No wonder those two could play together!
Kai glanced at them but did not bother responding. He merely silently pinched the pill and rolled it around in his hand.
It felt smooth.
Not rough at all.
After rolling it around for a while, he finally brought it before his eyes and examined it carefully.
His baby-fat face was full of the seriousness of a "scientific researcher."
And full of longing for "life."
"Mm… this thing looks like its purity isn't bad."
"The taste should also be decent… right?"
That light sentence directly frightened the Ōtsutsuki on the ground into shivering.
His entire body trembled uncontrollably!
But inside his originally dried-up brain, a few thoughts suddenly appeared.
Wait.
This child wasn't planning to eat this thing, was he?
This was condensed from his entire body's essence—
Hm?
With so much concentrated into one pill, just how nourishing would it be?
He did not dare imagine it!
But he knew that ordinary people absolutely could not endure it!
Forget humans—even someone from the Ōtsutsuki clan would find it difficult to swallow completely!
Unless it was—
A higher-ranking member devouring a lower-ranking member.
So…
All of a sudden, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki stopped trembling.
He struggled with difficulty to open a sliver of his eyelids and stared fixedly at Uchiha Kai.
A faint trace of expectation and satisfaction appeared in his eyes!
As if he were saying:
Eat it!
Hurry up and eat it!
As long as Kai ate it, Urashiki believed that with Kai's human body, he would definitely explode into pieces!
"You're looking forward to me eating it?"
At that moment, Kai seemed to sense something. He suddenly leaned down and lowered his head.
Then he shook the black pill in his hand in front of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
"Ugh… hhh…"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki struggled slightly, wanting to speak, but could only produce certain syllables.
Inside his dazed mind, he suddenly recalled a certain scene from earlier!
The Ōtsutsuki aura emitted by the little boy before him had been even purer and thicker than his own!
So—
After waking up, had he really become a lower-class member of the Ōtsutsuki clan?
