Chapter 230 Oh no! The leader of Amegakure has usurped the throne!
Tick, tick, tick.
A bottomless passage, with the sound of dripping water echoing from its entrance.
Yuuki followed Orochimaru, walking step by step deeper into the cave.
Pushing open the last door, Yuuki saw a clean and tidy laboratory with few experimental equipment, and a shadow clone was busy at work.
"Yuki-kun, welcome to visit my laboratory."
Orochimaru dispelled his shadow clones and gestured for Yuuki to watch as he pleased.
“This is…” Yuuki casually examined a few bottles and jars and then concluded: “An experiment about the free transfer, storage, and utilization of chakra between individuals?”
Having not experienced the death of Nawaki, Orochimaru never lamented the fragility of life, did not yet become twisted, and did not embark on the path of 'corpse sex change'.
The research mainly focuses on exploring the mysteries of chakra and ninjutsu.
"Yes, Yuuki-kun, do you have any suggestions?"
“This experiment is very practical,” Yuuki affirmed. “In a team, the chakra of the other three can be concentrated on one person, or one person’s chakra can be distributed among the three.”
"A more versatile ninja squad was born."
This is just a simple reflection on its application in warfare.
Yushu has even deeper uses.
Is it possible to transfer and store chakra between individuals, allowing chakra to be stored in an ordinary person's body in advance and retrieved whenever needed?
If a piece of flesh and blood can serve the purpose of storing chakra.
If it is added to ninja tools, can it achieve a greater effect?
Of course, the experimental results that meet all three conditions at the same time are somewhat demanding.
However, even if all three conditions are not met at the same time, the ninja world itself possesses chakra that can both be transferred and utilized.
That's—the Power Bank Tailed Beast!
"Hiss, chakra is such an interesting thing." Orochimaru pressed his face against the beaker with fervor, observing the changes in the solution up close.
"Is Orochimaru-senpai exploring the essence of chakra?"
"No." Orochimaru regained his composure: "I just want to explore all the ninjutsu in the ninja world and pursue the truth of chakra."
"The essence of ninjutsu?" Yuuki said, "I have some thoughts on this, which I can offer you for your reference."
Orochimaru's eyes lit up: "Then thank you very much, Yuuki-kun."
Yuuki: "Releasing ninjutsu ultimately boils down to manipulating chakra and releasing it from the body in a special way."
"Chakra is a magical thing; more accurately, ninjas are the most wondrous beings."
"I used my chakra to catalyze the mutation of the detoxifying stinging ants, giving them the ability to detoxify."
"This change was brought about by my manipulation of chakra!"
"Since chakra drives the transformation of ninja beasts, then... if chakra remains in the body for a long time, will it cause changes in the beast itself?"
Orochimaru immediately realized what was happening, his excitement growing even stronger, and asked with certainty, "Bloodline Limit?"
"Perhaps," Yuuki replied, not denying it.
"Observation leads to intervention, and intervention leads to manipulation!"
"That's always been my opinion."
"However, even today, people cannot directly see the full picture of chakra."
"Whether it's the Sharingan, the Byakugan, or sensory ninjutsu, they all seem to only glimpse a part of the true nature of chakra."
"Our understanding of chakra is like groping for a ninja beast in the dark, judging it by incomplete subjective thoughts that it might be shaped like a 'chicken leg' or made of fingernails..."
Standing opposite, Orochimaru's mind raced, constantly reviewing and analyzing what Yuuki had said, trying to verify the issues he had raised.
Chakra, ninjutsu.
Orochimaru licked around his lips with his tongue.
There are too many secrets in the ninja world.
There are still so many unknowns waiting to be explored.
How wonderful!
"Extending from this..." Orochimaru's thoughts diverged, and he guessed, "When a bloodline limit is born, it happens to stop at a certain place in the human body when the chakra is circulating, and it happens to maintain a certain form of chakra!"
"This change, like the detoxification process of stinging ants, is a change etched into their genes."
"Therefore, it can be successfully passed on to offspring!"
"Suppose we find the internal nodes that have changed, wouldn't we be able to mass-produce bloodstained ninjas!"
Despite the large villages, they all uniformly reject bloodstained ninjas.
Even the Hidden Mist Village directly targeted the Bloodstained Clan!
This is just the surface.
It's not that we look down on bloodline limits; on the contrary, it represents coveting bloodline limits!
If each household possesses this power, what if they are wiped out or rebel? Wouldn't the village then lose this power?
The power that resides within the village is the true power!
In addition, Bloodstained Ninja is invincible among those of the same level.
If a ninja clan produces several generations of competent leaders, it is easy for them to lead the clan to rise and seize that prestigious throne!
Isn't that what the Uchiha clan is like?
According to the original timeline, four Kage-level powerhouses were likely born in the same era: Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha!
This doesn't even include the Kage-level powerhouses within the Uchiha clan who keep a low profile!
Among ordinary ninjas, one may emerge as a Kage-level ninja.
Is it possible for an Uchiha with two or three tomoe to become a Kage-level fighter?
Although they were cowardly and did not rebel.
However, the strength of the Uchiha clan cannot be denied.
“Orochimaru-senpai, think a little further,” Yuuki said enticingly. “Why not just create a blood-stained organ outside the body and implant it inside?”
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru was taken aback, then exclaimed sincerely, "Yuuki-kun, you are truly a genius!"
External blood-stained organs?
Once trained, can ordinary people use them?
Orochimaru was quick-witted, and even though he foresaw the potential risks, he did not back down in the slightest.
A new storm is brewing!
How can we shrink back!
...
"OI, Onoki, did the man you sent out to inform the Amegakure leader and the Kirigakure leader die on the way?" The Third Raikage crossed his arms and stared at the short man with disdain.
Damn black bastards!
Onoki cursed under his breath and snorted, "If Third A can't wait, he can leave first. We'll tell you after our meeting."
The Third Raikage wasn't angry; instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Without Kumogakure, this meeting really wouldn't need to continue!"
Upon hearing this, Onoki couldn't help but mutter to himself.
How can this barbarian be so confident?
They have such a strong foundation.
Did they really obtain crucial intelligence?
This meeting was arranged by Onoki, who ran around to find a place and facilitated the meeting of the Five Kage.
They discussed how to deal with the increasingly powerful Konoha.
Thinking of this, Onoki couldn't help but curse inwardly.
A bunch of short-sighted fools!
The threat from Konoha was already written all over his head, and the Hokage's ambition was clearly becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.
There are still people who are taking chances!
They tried to entrust the safety of the village to the mercy of the enemy!
That's incredibly stupid!
One after another, the Third Kazekage and the Grand Elder of Kirigakure arrived, with only Hanzo of the Salamander missing.
The Third Raikage said with displeasure, "Hanzo, what a big face he has! How dare he stand me up!"
Neither Onoki nor the Third Kazekage echoed his sentiments.
To put it bluntly, Hanzo the Salamander has the right to be rude!
After some time, a ninja from Iwa suddenly burst in, covered in sweat, bringing some shocking news!
"Hanzo the Salamander, leader of Amegakure, killed the daimyo and all the nobles, proclaimed himself Amegakure, and took over the entire Land of Rain!"
