Chapter 28 - Humanoid Flame
In the empty and dark space, five human-shaped flames are vivid and lifelike, just like real people.
One of the human-shaped flames that was moving away was far brighter and hotter than the other four human-shaped flames.
"That should be the third generation!"
"Only he has such a powerful and concentrated amount of chakra!"
Li Yao's whispered voice echoed in the empty and dark space.
At this time, Li Yao was in a very strange state of life.
Gathering and dispersing are invisible. I can feel that I am alive, but I don't have a body.
He has been tortured for the past six months and his life is really worse than death.
I thought that as the torture continued, his body would develop greater endurance, or he would gradually lose his sense of pain and other traumatic sensations and become paralyzed, no longer suffering from pain and other perceptions.
But perhaps it was because his consciousness had mutated after the time travel and had merged so tightly with his body, his body was not paralyzed, and no matter how the third generation tortured him, he still had sharp perception.
His pain tolerance has indeed increased a lot.
But this enhancement cannot make him immune to all kinds of pain perception.
So in the end, Li Yao's spiritual will gradually collapsed and became silent after a long period of torture. Finally, without Li Yao's expectation, he completely gave up his physical body and entered the chakra.
His soul and chakra merged into a special chakra energy body life.
Now he can no longer sense the existence of his physical body.
No vision, no pain, no smell, no senses given by the flesh.
In a sense, Li Yao was freed and no longer had to endure endless torture.
At first, Li Yao thought that his soul, spirit and will would remain dormant and he would not be aware of his death.
However, the chakra energy body life form gave him a perception ability that was different from physical sensation.
"Chakra perception!"
Li Yao can accurately sense the chakra within a range of twenty meters around his body.
If it is a ninja, it will take the form of a human-shaped flame.
Those human-shaped flames are the chakra states of others that he senses.
The brightness and concentration of the flame represent the amount of chakra a person has.
The degree of heat represents the strength or quality of that person's chakra.
The chakra of ninjas may seem the same, but in fact their quality and strength are different.
For the same fire-style ninjutsu, the flames released by a ninja with high chakra quality and intensity will be much hotter and more violent.
On the contrary, for a ninja with low chakra quality and intensity, the flame temperature of the fire ninjutsu released by him will be much lower.
This is the difference in chakra quality and strength.
By comparison, Li Yao was able to roughly determine that the humanoid flame moving away from him was from the third generation.
Because the chakra of the Third Hokage is much stronger in both quality and quantity than that of the four Anbu ninjas who have been guarding him.
Not long after the third generation left, Ran came in to check Li Yao's physical condition and heal the wounds left by the third generation when they tested Li Yao's body.
Afterwards, he inserted a nutrient solution bottle into Li Yao to ensure that Li Yao's body remained alive.
During the whole process, Li Yao was "watching" in the empty and dark chakra perception space. He could not see the IV bottle or his own body, but he could judge what Luan was doing to him from the movement of Luan's chakra humanoid flame.
"Oh, you're not going to kill me!"
"hehe!"
Li Yao made a judgment in an instant, and then his consciousness fluctuated and he smiled. It was a sneer, a cold and cruel smile.
Li Yao's mind was active. In this state, he was not afraid of any physical torture, and it was useless to attack his soul consciousness.
All illusions targeting chakra have no effect on him.
Therefore, as long as you can't break through the chakra defense, you can't hurt his soul.
Unless the Third Generation is willing to use sealing techniques such as the Shiki Fuujin against him, he can hurt his soul and kill him.
But if you want to kill him, there is no need to exchange one life for another with the Shiki Fuujin.
After all, only a ninja of at least the Jonin level can learn the sealing ninjutsu of the Shiki Fuujin level.
The third generation was reluctant to use a Jonin to die together with Li Yao.
Because killing Li Yao is very simple, just kill his current body.
Although Li Yao's soul consciousness is now completely integrated into the chakra, he has become a special chakra energy body life.
But his chakra comes from this body.
His current chakra energy body life state is actually still connected to his physical body.
It's a bit like the symbiotic relationship between the Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beasts.
His physical body died, and without the chakra source input, he would not be able to survive for long in the chakra energy body state exposed to the environment.
As for whether he could take over another person's body like the third generation had always wanted to know from him, Li Yao was not sure.
But if this body dies in the end, he will try.
Because he wanted to survive, not just to live for the sake of living, he simply wanted to take revenge on three generations.
He died just like that, allowing the third generation to live as long as in the original work, with many children and grandchildren, and to create a legion of ninjas for his Sarutobi clan.
Li Yao would not allow such a beautiful scene to appear, and he wanted to destroy it ruthlessly.
Therefore, he must survive if he can.
Now, from Luan's movements, Li Yao could be sure that he would not die for the time being.
Then all that remains is how to continue living.
And, escape alive.
While Li Yao was thinking, he was also exploring some of his abilities in his current chakra energy body state.
He couldn't sense it with his physical body.
However, he could still sense the physical energy naturally emanating from his flesh cells.
The same goes for spiritual energy. The soul consciousness integrated into the chakra will naturally emit spiritual energy.
Then he can still condense chakra.
Having been tortured by the Third Generation for the past six months, Li Yao had no energy to concentrate on gathering new chakra.
Now that he was in a vegetative state, he could focus on concentrating his chakra.
Again, no matter what he wants to do, in this ninja world, without a certain amount of chakra, he can do nothing and can only be a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Um!"
As soon as he condensed his chakra, a gloom suddenly appeared in Li Yao's heart.
The chakra sealing technique on his physical body was still there, and the new chakra that was condensed would also be sealed, like solidified cement, and Li Yao was completely unable to mobilize it.
If he can't mobilize chakra, he is just an ordinary person, and no matter how much chakra he has, it will be useless.
"We have to find a way to remove the seal on our body."
"And it has to be done in a way that the seal can be lifted without the Third Hokage and the Anbu ninja being able to see it."
"How do you do that?"
Li Yao pondered over it. It was obvious that he had no answer by relying on the memory of "Kimura Yao". He could only find some knowledge and guesses about the sealing technique from his past life memories to see if he could find any information that could help him.
At the same time, Li Yao used his special chakra perception ability to sense the chakra in the sealing technique.
That's right.
Li Yao could sense the chakra in the sealing technique.
The chakra used in the sealing technique was different from his chakra, and also different from the chakra of the four Anbu ninjas surrounding him.
This gave Li Yao some more ideas.
