Chapter 491: The Willpower Sect is a scam, but don't fall for it yourself!
Chapter 491: The Willpower Sect is a scam, but don't fall for it yourself!
"You've been working hard cleaning up the battlefield!" said Uchiha Yai as she noticed Dong Ping enter the room, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
As his fiancee, she was well aware of his personality and understood why he had used a Shadow Clone to replace her eyes.
"Haha!"
Dong Ping had no choice but to play it cool and act nonchalant.
He hadn't seen Hyuga Cangyue standing guard outside the cave, not even daring to enter. It was wise of him to be cautious, as it wasn't an unnecessary precaution.
Uchiha Yai felt a twinge of disappointment.
If Hyuga Cangyue had been there earlier, she could have tried casting an illusion on him to ensure he never dared to lay a hand on her fiancee again.
So, if Dong Ping were to judge Uchiha Yai based on her anime portrayal, he would surely be in for a nasty surprise.
A bloody lesson! In the Shinobi World, anime information could be referenced, but it was unwise to take it at face value.
"Alright, it's your turn now!" Uchiha Yai said, stepping aside to adjust to her newly restored eyes.
Meanwhile, Dong Ping approached the weak and unconscious Orochimaru, forming hand seals to prepare for the Heavenly Seal.
The Heavenly Seal on Yekou's body had already proven its effectiveness.
Initially, it seemed to have no effect, but later, it transformed into its own shape, and because it took effect through 'subtle influence,' it wasn't considered an illusion or control, making it impossible to dispel.
Just like Orochimaru in the original storyline, who had subordinates like Kurenai and Kaguya-sama willingly becoming his vessels, it was likely due to the influence of the seal.
Tsk, tsk... One could say that Orochimaru knew how to play the game. Dong Ping had copied... borrowed his idea and applied it to Orochimaru.
It was a case of karma coming full circle!
Now Orochimaru was experiencing the same treatment.
The brainwashing effect of the Heavenly Seal was not very strong initially, but it became more terrifying as time went on, almost comparable to Alter Heaven, and there was no way to dispel it.
Even if one could remove the Heavenly Seal, the corrupted and twisted values it instilled could not be corrected.
This was the most terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Seal.
That's why Dong Ping had only used it on Yekou; this was not something to be taken lightly.
Just like Orochimaru's Heavenly Seal, the number of targets it was used on was pitifully small. Only Red and Ergouzi had received it, while others had the Earthly Seal, not the Heavenly Seal.
Although the Heavenly Seal required a massive amount of chakra, Dong Ping was willing to invest in it when it came to Orochimaru.
In the entire Shinobi World, there were only two and a half researchers who could impress him.
The two referred to Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru, while the half was Tobi.
Senju Tobirama was out of the question, and Tobi was already under Dong Ping's command, secretly infiltrating Konoha.
Now, it was time to bring Orochimaru under control.
With this, in terms of research capabilities, no one could rival the Heavenly Fortress.
Soon, a fiery crimson flame pattern appeared on Orochimaru's neck.
After some time, the Heavenly Seal would infiltrate Orochimaru's body, then his mind and soul, making it difficult to remove.
Like Red, the village was aware of the seal on her body but couldn't remove it. They could only add a new layer of sealing on top.
The Heavenly Seal on Ergouzi's body could only be removed because Filial Son had obtained a special spiritual tool.
Dong Ping's Heavenly Seal would only become more troublesome and powerful.
After all, it was inspired by Orochimaru, and with his unique advantages, the Heavenly Seal he developed was even stronger and better.
The bootleg version surpasses the original!
Whether in the world before or after the crossing, this was not an uncommon occurrence.
After finishing the task, Dong Ping began to breathe heavily.
It wasn't that the Heavenly Seal's consumption was that extreme; the problem was that his current state was not right.
Most of his mental energy and chakra were used to suppress the natural energy's corrosion, hence his condition.
If it were his prime, he would only feel a bit of fatigue.
"Is it done?" Uchiha Yai curiously examined the seal on Orochimaru's neck.
It wasn't strange for her to be curious, as Dong Ping had included the Heavenly Seal in the exchange system of the Heavenly Fortress, providing a general introduction.
Because it can greatly enhance one's strength!
As for the fact that this item can be enhanced, Dong Ping had never mentioned it, and he wouldn't use it on his own people.
"Hmm!" Dong Ping nodded and then stared at Orochimaru, "Next, we'll see the effect of Alter Heaven!"
There are risks in controlling illusions, even Infinite Tsukuyomi may awaken, and Alter Heaven is not without the possibility of failure.
However, as long as Alter Heaven can take effect before the Heaven's Curse Seal, there's no need to worry later.
Orochimaru, this scoundrel, is not afraid of death.
Once he dies, the backup plan he set up might be triggered.
But sealing and controlling are different matters, as there is no death involved, so the backup plan naturally won't activate.
Just like the Lazy You Bastard from the Six Paths, why didn't he kill his own mother? It's for the same reason.
As for the reason of not having the heart to kill his mother, it's completely baseless. After all, if he's willing to hang his mother on the moon for a thousand years, there's nothing he can't do.
As for the Willpower Sect's idea of 'transforming Chakra into a bond that connects people', it's fine to deceive ordinary people, but don't deceive yourself.
After all, if Chakra could truly foster mutual understanding among people, the Shinobi world would never have seen an end to its wars.
That's why Dong Ping is wary and hostile towards the Six Paths Sage.
This is not his conspiracy theory; if one only listens to the ideology, the Willpower Sect does sound great, but some things can't be judged solely by propaganda; you have to see how they're implemented.
The Six Paths Sage has been hiding in the Pure Land, watching the Shinobi slaughter each other, but he has never stopped it.
Double standards!
This completely contradicts the ideology of the Willpower Sect he founded.
In this regard, he is very similar to the upper echelons of Konoha, the kind who brainwash others with their ideology and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
What are the achievements of the Willpower Sect? Of course, it's the strong souls in the Pure Land.
The Six Paths Sage controls the Pure Land, and when Shinobi die, their souls enter the Pure Land. The more Shinobi there are and the stronger their combat power, the more souls he can reap in the future.
This is the true Lazy You Bastard, the mastermind behind the scenes.
Although it's not shown in the anime, combining the reality of the Shinobi world with some prophetic information, Dong Ping naturally can analyze this terrifying 'truth'.
Of course, without the strength to oppose it, he won't foolishly expose the truth.
As Dong Ping was mocking the Six Paths Sage in his heart, the unconscious Orochimaru woke up.
So he tensed up, ready to strike at the slightest sign of trouble, and with Hyuga Cangyue outside to back him up, there's no way Orochimaru can escape.
"Dong Ping-kun!"
Orochimaru greeted them as if it were perfectly normal for them to be here.
Alter Heaven! The effect is Dong Ping's design.
Directly twisting one's personality would be too jarring, even if the person doesn't notice it, but others who have interacted with them would instantly realize the change.
Even if no traces of the illusion can be found, your drastically altered personality clearly indicates that you've been affected.
As long as the person affected has their wits about them, they can sense the anomaly with a reminder.
After all, Alter Heaven modifies one's values and memories, but not their intelligence.
So, the effect of Alter Heaven this time isn't to make Orochimaru loyal to Dong Ping or the Heavenly Fortress.
Instead, it's to insert into Orochimaru's memory that he has an extremely good relationship with Dong Ping, and they both acknowledge the Blazing Sun Will, becoming like-minded and even having a good impression of each other.
With such modifications, Orochimaru will naturally act as if nothing is amiss, making it impossible for anyone to detect any flaws.
Even Orochimaru himself won't be able to sense any issues, and by the time he realizes something is wrong, it will definitely be too late.
"Senior Orochimaru, it's been a long time since we last met!"
Dong Ping found that Orochimaru showed no signs of being affected, so he continued the act and started testing him.
"Yes, it's been almost a few years since I left Konoha!"
Orochimaru nodded, his voice sounding hoarse and gentle.
Dong Ping naturally continued the play, after all, in the next period of time, they will keep an eye on Orochimaru, while scavenging his results, they can also confirm the brainwashing effect.
In Orochimaru's memory, Dong Ping and the others came to visit at his invitation, planning to secretly reach some cooperation in the dark.
So, next, Orochimaru will take them back to the laboratory.
As for his previous plans, they can be put on hold for now.
