Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 305 begins

As Hyuga Kanan explained, Orochimaru and the others listened intently, their eyes glued to the screen, afraid of missing a single word or detail. Their expressions were serious and focused, as if every word was a precious treasure of knowledge, requiring careful comprehension and understanding.

Finally, Hyuga Kanan stopped speaking, his voice abruptly ceasing, and the entire room fell silent. All eyes returned to him, filled with anticipation and curiosity. Orochimaru, in particular, had a burning desire in his eyes, eager to know more about his physical transformation.

"Kanaan-kun, what exactly is this physical transformation like? Could you explain it in detail?" Orochimaru couldn't help but ask, his tone revealing eagerness and anticipation. The others also turned their attention to him, expecting Kanan's answer.

Hyuga Kanan smiled at Orochimaru, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew Orochimaru's unwavering pursuit of power and science; this passion and curiosity were the driving force behind his relentless progress. Therefore, he nodded without hesitation, ready to satisfy Orochimaru's thirst for knowledge.

“Once the body absorbs the refined pure energy, all the cells in the body will undergo continuous growth. This process is not instantaneous, but requires time and effort. The cells will gradually adapt to and utilize this pure energy, constantly dividing and regenerating, thereby breaking through the body's original limits and reaching a completely new realm,” Hinata Kanan said slowly, his voice deep and magnetic, captivating all who heard it.

"This transformation is not limited to changes on the surface of the body, but is also reflected in internal strengthening. The body's strength, vitality, and recovery speed will all be significantly improved. At the same time, a person's lifespan can also be greatly extended. Of course, the specific increase in lifespan varies from person to person, but generally speaking, after completing the first metamorphosis, lifespan should be able to reach about 120 years," Hyuga Kanan continued to explain, his tone carrying a hint of pride and confidence.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and his breathing became rapid. One hundred and twenty years! This was an unimaginable number for him. He had always been searching for ways to achieve immortality, trying to transcend the limits of life. Now, Hyuga Kanan's theory of physical transformation seemed to have given him new hope and direction.

"However, I must remind everyone that physical transformation is not an easy thing. It requires tremendous effort and patience, as well as sufficient strength and resources. At the same time, we must also realize that even if we complete the transformation, it does not mean that we will be immortal. There are still many unknowns in the mysteries of life, and we still need to continue to explore and progress." Hyuga Kanan said earnestly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, hoping that they could understand the meaning and value of physical transformation.

Orochimaru nodded in agreement; his years of research had yielded many results. He had even developed a forbidden technique called 'Immortal Reincarnation,' which theoretically could grant eternal life. However, upon further investigation, he discovered a major flaw. First, this forbidden technique involved transferring one's soul and chakra into another person's body, thus occupying that body. But because the other person's body was incompatible with one's own soul, it could only survive for a few years at most before requiring another transfer. Moreover, this body transfer would impure and weaken one's soul.

He knew this was a serious problem; if he couldn't solve it, he would never achieve his dream of immortality. So he began searching for other ways to solve it. He considered one possibility: using genetic technology to modify the human body, making it adaptable to his soul. This way, he wouldn't need to frequently change bodies, thus extending his lifespan. Unfortunately, transferring his soul and chakra would have consequences. And most importantly, chakra wasn't entirely his own; after Hyuga Kanan told him this, he abandoned this path. Furthermore, he discovered that if the soul couldn't be strengthened, it had its limits and would eventually dissipate.

However, Orochimaru was overjoyed to learn the Spirit Nourishing Technique, a method that could elevate the soul, from Hyuga Kanan. Now, he had discovered a path to fundamental transformation and evolution—a truly incredible surprise! This path to immortality was the perfect one he had always dreamed of! Breaking the limits of one's body's cells through cultivation allowed for a truly longer life. In this way, he could continuously surpass himself and achieve true immortality! Thinking of this, Orochimaru felt a surge of intense anticipation and excitement.

Just then, Hyuga Kanan suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's reverie. His voice was calm and firm, as if carrying an irresistible authority.

"You should focus on taking the first step and eliminating the hidden dangers to your chakra before pursuing the rest of the path!" Hyuga Kanan said slowly. His gaze swept over everyone, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination.

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads, instantly sobering them up. Yes, although Hyuga Kanan's words had ignited a deep longing within them, reality was harsh. They needed to solve their immediate problems before they could have the opportunity to pursue higher levels of power and境界 (realm/state).

A moment of silence fell over the arena. Everyone was pondering Hyuga Kanan's words, realizing they had indeed been too hasty and overlooked the most fundamental things. Only by eliminating the threat to their chakra could they ensure their own safety and lay a solid foundation for future development.

After a moment, Orochimaru broke the silence, saying firmly, "I understand, Kanan-kun. We will start working hard from now on to eliminate the hidden dangers of chakra. Then, we will move towards a higher goal!" The others nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with determination.

Hyuga Kanan nodded slightly, satisfied with everyone's reaction. He knew that Orochimaru's young subordinates possessed limitless potential, but also needed guidance and instruction. Through this reminder, he hoped to help them embark on the right path of training.

As Hyuga Kanan finished speaking, the initial fervor in everyone's hearts gradually subsided, replaced by a sense of steadiness and composure. They understood that the road ahead was long, and they needed to take it one step at a time. Under Hyuga Kanan's guidance, they would continue to strive, overcome difficulties, and move towards becoming even stronger cultivators.

The primary task now before them is the first crucial step on the path of cultivation: thoroughly cleansing and refining the chakra within their bodies. Only in this way can they lay a solid foundation for their subsequent training and take a powerful and resolute step. This process will be full of challenges, but it is also an essential path for them to reach higher realms and explore unknown territories.

Seeing that everyone had gradually calmed down, Hyuga Kanan began to arrange a suitable place for them to train. He knew that this moment was crucial for everyone, and they needed a quiet, comfortable environment where they could concentrate on their training.

"You must understand that our most crucial task right now is to adjust our own state, focus all our efforts on cultivating the Spirit Nourishing Technique, and continuously enhance the strength of our soul power," Hyuga Kanan said solemnly. "Only in this way can we make sufficient preparations for the subsequent chakra refining and increase the chances of success."

As he spoke, he carefully observed everyone's expressions and reactions. He understood that this training was a tremendous challenge for everyone, but also an excellent opportunity to achieve a breakthrough. As long as they could overcome the difficulties and persevere, they would surely gain even greater power.

Led by Hyuga Kanan, the group arrived at a secluded courtyard. The environment was tranquil, with lush greenery providing shade, making one feel refreshed and relaxed. Hyuga Kanan pointed to several small houses in the courtyard and said, "This will be where you train for the next few days. Here, you can undisturbed by the outside world and devote yourself wholeheartedly to your training."

Everyone nodded in gratitude. They knew that Hyuga Kanan had provided them with such excellent conditions, and they must work even harder to live up to his expectations. So, they each went into their huts and began their intense and arduous training journey.

In the days that followed, everyone immersed themselves in cultivation. Following the methods taught by Hyuga Kanan, they diligently practiced the Spirit Nourishing Technique, sensing the changes in their soul power. As time passed, they discovered that their soul power was growing stronger, and their previously vague perceptions were becoming increasingly clear.

At the same time, they also felt an unprecedented sense of confidence and determination. This feeling made them believe that as long as they persevered, they would definitely be able to successfully expel and refine the chakra within their bodies and become true cultivators!

Orochimaru, as Hyuga Kanan's highly valued assistant, truly lived up to expectations. His exceptional talent and unwavering determination were on full display during this period.

Orochimaru displayed exceptional talent and creativity in enhancing his soul power and mastering chakra refinement. He was able to quickly understand and master the Nourishing Spirit Technique and apply it in practice. He also had a deep understanding of refining chakra within his body, which allowed him to master the process of chakra refinement to a highly proficient level very quickly.

At the same time, Orochimaru's character is also highly commendable. He never backs down in the face of difficulties, always maintaining unwavering faith and determination. Even when faced with setbacks and failures, he learns from them and continuously improves his methods and strategies. This indomitable spirit has allowed him to go further and further on his scientific research path.

Furthermore, Orochimaru possesses keen insight and judgment. He is able to accurately analyze problems and find the best way to solve them. This ability enables him to play a crucial role, providing strong support for the success of several individuals.

In short, Orochimaru won Hyuga Kanan's high appreciation with his outstanding talent and strong will.
