My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 145

Considering this is a chance for the two of you to build trust,

It seems that losing a body inscribed with an Earth Cursed Seal is not out of the question.

Although a Kekkei Genkai user of this level is hard to find, with his Kage-level strength, as long as he searches diligently, he can still acquire one!

Coupled with your promise to Orochimaru that if you failed, you would compensate him with an experimental subject possessing a Scorch Release bloodline,

Orochimaru readily agreed to the matter…

At this current time, you still do not wish to expose your identity as a member of the Uchiha clan.

Thus, only you and Kimimaro remained in the secret room. You cast a genjutsu, causing Kimimaro to fall into a deep sleep.

With your dōjutsu, using this level of genjutsu without activating your eyes was incredibly simple.

Once Kimimaro was completely asleep, you activated your Mangekyō Sharingan.

You began to strip the bloodline from Kimimaro’s body. During this process, to ensure Kimimaro’s survival and simultaneously perfect and rectify the defects in his bloodline,

You consumed a significant amount of bloodline essence. Only then, with some minor scares, did you completely strip out his Shikotsumyaku, condensing it into a vibrant red blood droplet glowing with a milky white halo.

After carefully storing it, you took out another portion of the Kaguya clan bloodline that had been supplemented with Uzumaki blood.

You then fused it into Kimimaro’s body.

Since the Uzumaki bloodline only served an auxiliary role, it would not manifest itself, other than enhancing Yang Release and promoting bone growth. Kimimaro would also, under this new bloodline, completely avoid the onset of his bloodline disease…

In just one day, the blood transfusion surgery was successfully completed.

You and Orochimaru observed Kimimaro, who could now use his Shikotsumyaku again. Although he seemed a bit unpracticed, the bones that grew were increasingly hard, and the symptoms of exhaustion after a short period of practice were gone.

Given time, once Kimimaro fully developed his bloodline,

Orochimaru would acquire a dream-come-true Kekkei Genkai ninja body trial card!

…………

Upon returning to the floating island,

You immediately began preparations for fusing the Shikotsumyaku.

First, you went to the underground base and extracted a considerable amount of bloodline essence again.

While you were at it, you expanded the area several times and used Ice Release to transform it into a giant refrigerator.

Your Ice Release was much stronger than Haku’s, so you only needed to throw ninja bodies in to freeze them directly, without having to use Ice Release seals on each one, saving both manpower and resources.

Currently, the “Ghost Mask Organization,” thanks to the absolute loyalty of Gato, had already spread throughout the entire ninja world. Gato, as an ordinary person, had become the emperor in the shadows of the ninja world!

The influx of ninja bodies no longer needed to rely on a small underground arena. However, for the purpose of maintaining contact with the Raikage, you still frequently dispatched Zabuza to liaison with him.

As for Haku, he had now grown to the point where he could stand on his own!

In fact, due to the perfect development of his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, his strength was considerably greater than Zabuza’s, almost reaching Kage-level. You had him extend the organization’s influence deep into the Land of Water…

You collected enough bloodline essence.

You then individually removed the defects hidden within Kimimaro’s Shikotsumyaku. Then, relying on your memories and fragmented comparisons with the pieced-together Kaguya bloodline,

You extracted similar and identical fragments from the Uzumaki bloodline to mend them.

Finally, supplemented by a large amount of bloodline essence, you refined this drop of Shikotsumyaku to a near-perfect state!

It could now be fused.

You drank the remaining bloodline essence along with the Shikotsumyaku.

A powerful chakra storm instantly erupted around you, mixed with the various attributes and Kekkei Genkai you possessed.

An incredibly powerful vortex spread out with you as its center. The entire floating island also began to spin, dragging the seawater beneath it, forming a tornado that reached straight to the sky.

As you opened your eyes,

You retracted this spreading power, and the Shikotsumyaku was perfectly fused.

“Bloodline Storm, a simple and crude technique, I like it!”

Inspired by the way your power instinctively erupted just now, you created a powerful ninjutsu that unleashes Kekkei Genkai, forming a storm centered on yourself, transforming into the storm itself!

If cast in Susanoo form, it would be a human-shaped natural disaster!

And after fusing the Shikotsumyaku, your physical attributes also received a massive boost!

If the enhancements brought by the Senju and Uzumaki bloodlines were primarily monstrous strength and recovery, then the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya clan was a tangible reinforcement of your internal bones to the point of cutting through metal and shattering jade!

Coupled with the accumulation of a large amount of bloodline essence, you were confident that your current physical body, even if it were to clash head-on with the Fourth Raikage in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, could achieve an even match!

In addition, you discovered that after fusing the Shikotsumyaku, your skin seemed to have become much fairer.

Excluding the fact that the Land of Waves was often foggy and you constantly wore a cloak,

Uchiha, Uzumaki, Shikotsumyaku—the three merged, and so many attribute-based Kekkei Genkai were superimposed. You speculated that you had likely undergone an Ōtsutsuki atavism!

You touched your forehead.

Thankfully, no horns grew…

“Just one Hyūga Main Family bloodline is enough!”

To reach this point,

Orochimaru’s dream of experiencing a Kekkei Genkai ninja body was merely the most basic brick on your path to growth. Even ultimate immortality would only be a byproduct of becoming a complete Ōtsutsuki…

Uchiha are just that unreasonable.

When you truly possess the power to control your own destiny, you no longer complain about the insignificant night of the clan’s annihilation, but instead begin to enjoy this gift from your bloodline, pursuing what you wish to pursue…

Why not set a small goal first: surpass the former Hashirama Senju and become the strongest in the ninja world!

You looked down. The floating island, originally forged with barrier techniques and Lava Release specifically for experimenting with high-power ninjutsu, was now shaky under the aftershocks of your successive bloodline breakthroughs.

The structures you had previously thought sturdy now seemed like mere paper, easily pierced. It was time for reinforcement:

This time, you used the white bones created by Shikotsumyaku, combined with the lava created by Lava Release, to interlock them. Then, you encased them in unmelting solid ice created by Ice Release. These three formed the main structure of the island.

Combining sealing jutsu and Scorch Release, you enveloped the outside of the floating island with a scorching gale barrier. You then released the Three-Tails to serve as the chakra source for maintaining the stability of the entire island, completely rebuilding the floating island!

The current floating island, rather than being a base for secluded training,

Was more like a weapon of war integrating all your Kekkei Genkai!

You released the Susanoo from your bloodline, inherited from Itachi Uchiha. In comparison, even a stage two Susanoo paled in comparison to the floating island you had forged.

This level of sturdiness, as long as it didn’t encounter unreasonable things like Kekkei Tōta or Kekkei Mōra, could even directly shatter a Susanoo!

With this matter concluded, your development of Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu also became increasingly refined, and you were full of confidence in the blood transfusion surgery.

Thus, you took out the phone number Amado had given you…
