My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 142

Yagura, who had once again fallen under the genjutsu of the Sharingan, was not manipulated by you to do anything.

He simply fell into endless guilt and self-reproach.

Thus, with a death wish in his heart, Yagura voluntarily unsealed the tailed beast within him, deciding to release the Three-Tails.

As Yagura’s body gradually grew cold, eventually losing all signs of life and collapsing into the frigid swamp, a colossal and bizarre-looking turtle emerged onto the surface of the lake.

Observing the size of the Three-Tails Isobu, and comparing it to the Turtle Island of the Land of Lightning, you felt a slight disappointment. That Turtle Island’s size was probably comparable to the Ten-Tails, and who knew how long it had lived…

However, the Three-Tails had already been controlled by you along with Yagura using the Sharingan, so subduing it wasn’t difficult. You first used the Sharingan to directly form a contract with it.

Then, you summoned Black Cat Boss, who brought a gigantic sealing scroll. You used the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style to seal it inside in one go.

Just like that, the Three-Tails was also brought into your possession.

Before leaving, you also conveniently took Ao’s Byakugan.

Only then did Genshi connect all your plans.

It turned out that the cost of not agreeing to you was so immense: an important experimental subject lost, the Fourth Mizukage dead, the Three-Tails captured, and even the Byakugan, which had been painstakingly taken from the Hyuga Main Family, was stolen.

The current Hidden Mist Village was practically an empty shell that would crumble with a touch!

Fortunately, you didn’t harm ordinary ninjas. After the news was suppressed, the Hidden Mist could still hold on for a while…

After seizing the Byakugan and the Three-Tails, you took advantage of the Hidden Mist Village’s Anbu being deployed to infiltrate the Takenori Clan’s compound.

The Takenori Clan of the Hidden Mist was much like the Uchiha Clan of Konoha.

Always feared, yet always a primary fighting force, they ultimately couldn’t escape the fate of extermination.

You surveyed the clan compound and found that all the ninjutsu here had been completely plundered.

Only an entrance leading underground was sealed by a barrier jutsu.

After breaking the barrier, countless bone spikes shot out from mechanisms, attacking you.

However, without ninjas controlling them, these automatic mechanisms could at most kill Jonin, posing no threat to you.

Thus, you realized that this place should be like the Uchiha Clan’s.

It was the Takenori Clan’s ancestral shrine, where secret techniques and historical records were stored. Scattered within were various forms of white bones, some even integrated into the barrier as part of the mechanisms.

These were the remains of Takenori Clan members who possessed the Shikotsumyaku, just like how the Uchiha Clan stored three-tomoe Sharingan. It was the last legacy from predecessors to descendants…

Unfortunately, these remains had been stored here for who knows how long.

Even if you expended a large amount of doujutsu power for collective melting, you could only extract a not-so-pure and partially incomplete Takenori Clan bloodline.

Looking at this drop of bloodline, you felt somewhat disgusted at the thought of fusing it into your own body.

—This kind of bloodline, pieced together over a thousand years, was too fragmented.

It would be better to ask Orochimaru for Kimimaro. Although his bloodline illness was a bit severe, it was at least complete, much better than this Pinduoduo version of a bloodline in your hand…

After putting away the bloodline, you continued to explore.

You also obtained a book, a scroll, and a map from the altar.

The book recorded the history of the Takenori Clan, the scroll contained the Takenori Clan’s ninjutsu, and as for the map, it depicted the Hyuga Clan’s former compound, indicating that the Takenori Clan had guarded this place for generations…

However, all of this ended completely with the demise of the Takenori Clan.

As for the Hyuga Clan far away in Konoha, you wondered if they still remembered their former compound?

You were very curious whether the Hyuga Clan in the ninja world possessed a giant Tenseigan, like the Hyuga Clan on the moon.

If it was truly sealed in that lost Hyuga clan compound, then you would hit the jackpot!

Although a drop of incomplete bloodline, a map, and the Takenori Clan’s bloodline ninjutsu were somewhat unsatisfactory gains, considering that this place had already been plundered by the Hidden Mist Village, you no longer craved anything more.

You then activated the Flying Thunder God again, teleporting yourself back to your base in the Land of Waves.

Through Kado’s reports heard in the genjutsu, you learned that Kado Shipping Company now spanned the ninja world, and the construction company led by Nazuda had also bloomed across the ninja continent.

Even if someone wanted to disrupt their business, they would first have to survive Kakuzu’s assassination…

In addition, Kado followed your instructions and began to venture into the medical and technology industries. However, although a large number of self-proclaimed scientists were recruited, most of these individuals worked independently, lacking a unified communication method, which led to extremely slow project progress.

Currently, Kado’s medical company only had two marketable products: one was military rations pills that enhanced recovery, and the other was quick hemostatic bandages.

The others either lacked competitiveness or were too costly to mass-produce, and these two products only sold relatively well in small ninja villages with scarce medical resources.

After listening to the work report, you recalled Amado, whom you had encountered previously.

However, this person was somewhat mysterious, and you currently lacked the means to tie him down…

The ninja bodies you refined from Zabuza and Haku’s trade, along with the previously accumulated “bloodline essence,” had now reached over 20 drops.

You extracted the Scorch Release bloodline from Pakura’s remains, but did not fuse it yourself. Instead, like Haku’s Ice Release bloodline, it was used as a reference for self-synthesis.

At the same time, this extra drop of bloodline could also be rewarded to your subordinates who had made achievements, to strengthen your own forces.

[Fourth Year]

Since you already possessed both wind and fire attributes, and had practiced them to a masterful degree, with Pakura’s Scorch Release bloodline as a reference, you quickly gathered the necessary medicines through Kado and completed the bloodline synthesis.

During the bloodline synthesis, you once again depleted the previously accumulated “bloodline essence.”

However, the results obtained were also very gratifying.

Not only did you perfectly integrate three kekkei genkai that were very likely to have conflicting attributes, but you also used the power within the bloodline essence to draw out the special energy present at the birth of the bloodline, greatly enhancing your physical strength.

Now, even with a simple full-power punch, you could shake an entire floating island.

It was even significantly stronger than the physical body you had previously estimated for the Raikage before he activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

If you further activated the monstrous strength within the Uzumaki bloodline, you felt that your physical body was not far from Tsunade’s level!

Such excellent physical conditions would be a waste not to utilize, so you decided to start training in ninja taijutsu.

Conveniently, several black markets controlled by Kado’s company had many powerful taijutsu techniques that had been specially collected.

These techniques were used to train new recruits for the “Oni Mask Organization.” It could be said that Kado’s company was able to expand to its current scale because of this cultivation model, which was willing to provide ninjutsu and resources.

Among these ninjutsu collections, there were also B-rank and above ninjutsu that flowed out from the major ninja villages.

Unfortunately, you were not born with the lightning attribute. Although you could use Lightning Release after practice, you could never reach the level of mastery.

Therefore, you did not intend to practice the simplified Lightning Release Chakra Mode that flowed out from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Instead, you planned to practice Earth Release or Water Release type ninja taijutsu.

However, ninja taijutsu, apart from the Hidden Cloud Village, was rarely practiced and was extremely prone to self-injury. This resulted in only strong individuals being able to master it, while those who couldn’t might not even be able to step through the threshold of being a ninja…

Some were dying of thirst, while others were drowning!

The quantity and types circulating on the market were far less than attribute ninjutsu, and even rarer than sealing jutsu.

Aside from the simplified Lightning Release Chakra Mode, you didn’t think much of the few books in Kado’s company’s inventory; the improvements were too slight, even inferior to the abilities inherent in the Uzumaki bloodline.

Therefore, you came to a black market near the Land of Water, deciding to try your luck and see if you could find something like the Hydrification Technique.

However, upon arriving at the black market, you spotted someone.

—Orochimaru.
