"You idiot, you actually have such good intentions?"
Back in Konoha, Sukuna let out a cold laugh.
"That white snake's Natural Energy concentration is second only to the Dragon Vein. I thought you were going to eat her."
Shake the ice glass; the bright red liquid inside is pomegranate juice.
"I don't like just anything. As far as pendants go, your functionality is already pretty good."
"I genuinely want to help that old woman transform into a dragon. I really intend to give her one of the only two Dragon Vein Crystal I have."
Dragon Vein Crystal.
Just like how the God Tree absorbs Natural Energy to obtain Chakra Fruit, it is something similar.
It is a crystal extracted from the Natural Energy of the land of the Land of Fire by Kagami Uchiha burying a portion of the Dragon Vein in the land of the Land of Fire, without damaging the land of the Land of Fire's origin.
Normal Dragon Vein energy is extremely violent; even a genius like Scorpion can only use a small amount of diluted scraps.
The energy of the Dragon Vein Crystal is far less than that of the Chakra Fruit, but it is still a top-tier treasure that can be used by normal life forms.
If a normal ninja obtains Dragon Vein Crystal...
Here is a suitable example.
Juugo.
Dragon Vein Crystal allow ninjas to enter Sage Mode, and if the output frequency is not high, they become a near- Limitless Natural Energy supplier.
Moreover, unlike Juugo, he won't go berserk because he can't control his power.
The power of Dragon Vein Crystal is stronger and more stable.
Simply put, a single Dragon Vein Crystal is at least equivalent to a powerful Kage Level expert who knows Senjutsu.
Especially for a being like Moryo, Dragon Vein Crystal can make up for its shortcomings.
He might be strong enough to reach the level of the Eternal Eyes Spot.
If the White Snake Sage were to transform into a dragon, she would likely be even stronger, given that her current power is comparable to Nagato's.
It is considered one of the strongest ranks in the Shinobi World.
Combat strength is a mysterious thing for ninjas; the vast majority of ninjas are glass cannons.
Only ninjas who have fully developed their ninjutsu and genjutsu, and possess a strong physical body, can be considered strong in the eyes of Kagami Uchiha.
In terms of genjutsu talent, Shisui was the strongest that Kagami Uchiha knew.
Now, the eye power he has accumulated with his Three-Tomoe has reached the level of Kagami Uchiha's Three-Tomoe. If Kagami hadn't been suppressing it, he would naturally have awakened the Mangekyo.
The weakness of Shisui is its body.
Even though Shisui trained from a young age, Shisui will surpass Sasuke in terms of resilience in a few years.
People like Shisui and Itachi, who can be considered Uchiha on the genjutsu side, are more emotional.
Uchiha Madara and Sasuke, on the other hand, focused on all-round development.
Perhaps it was the influence of Indra's Chakra that caused them to awaken the Sharingan.
While Kagami Uchiha was contemplating customizing Shisui's eye technique, Shisui was on his side.
Uchiha Clan Compound.
Shisui is staying at the mansion today, looking through a scroll.
It was none other than the Yin-Yang Release Secret Technique, one of the final rewards.
After Kagami Uchiha summarized the Yin-Yang Release Secret Technique, he taught it to Shisui.
Shisui learned the Yin Release technique quickly, but he struggled with the Yang Release.
The most common Yang Release are probably Medical Ninjutsu and the Akimichi Clan's Expansion Technique.
Everyone has their own area of expertise. Shisui could learn the extremely difficult Flying Thunder God Technique, but he was completely helpless against Yang Release.
Yang Release) is the Yang Power, which originates from the bodily energy that governs life, and imbues form with life.
Besides his elder brother, Shisui had several other people around him who knew Yang Release.
Ryuzetsu's Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique is a inherited technique similar to Kekkei Genkai, a high-level Yang Release secret technique, but there is no possibility of learning it.
We can't exactly ask someone to demonstrate it, because using it would be fatal.
There's one more.
Revolver.
The Revolver's ability to convert fat into power is actually the original version of the Akimichi Clan's secret technique.
This is also a manifestation of Yang Release).
Shisui also tried to eat and drink excessively, but unfortunately, her body's digestive system couldn't keep up.
Being able to eat a lot is also a very strong talent.
Among the few small ones in the clan's Training Ground, even Neji, who had the smallest appetite, ate more than Shisui, not to mention Hinata.
Shisui was somewhat troubled and did not notice Ryuzetsu, who came in carrying tea and snacks.
Ryuzetsu and Shisui were born in the same year and are now seventeen years old.
Her waist-length white hair was tied in a low ponytail, and her face remained as aloof as ever.
"Eat something first. The martial arts competition starts tomorrow, so get some rest tonight."
Ryuzetsu had always lived here, and unlike Kabuto and his family who still had their adoptive mother, she was truly all alone.
Despite spending many years together, no romantic feelings developed over time.
The relationship between Shisui and Ryuzetsu is more like that of siblings, or even brother and sister.
I've just gotten used to their presence.
Shisui rubbed his brow, looking at Ryuzetsu with some worry.
Remembering what Kagami Uchiha said...
This is a very strange feeling.
Shisui understood perfectly well that everything her brother did was for her own good.
As long as I follow my brother's instructions, I can possess great power, perhaps even second only to my brother.
Shisui didn't object to this arrangement, but he knew very well about Kagami Uchiha...
Except for a very small number of people.
In his brother's eyes, everyone else was just a bargaining chip on a scale, and he didn't care about their lives or deaths in order to achieve his goal.
If it's for one's own strength that the Ryuzetsu needs to die...
Brother, I will definitely do it.
Envisioning that future, Shisui knew she wouldn't hate her brother.
Just like Kagami Uchiha believed that Shisui was the most important person.
In Shisui's eyes, Kagami Uchiha was also the most important.
He began to recall the battle that took place in Konoha.
Grandma never knew what happened until her death, and even I only learned about it when I officially started my mission.
How can I follow my brother's instructions while protecting Ryuzetsu...?
Desire...
Shisui covered his eyes.
When you realize you are powerless, you can pray to the Sharingan.
Sharingan, the eye that reflects the soul...
But brother, if you wanted to create an environment that would awaken my Mangekyo, why did you tell me all this beforehand?
I do not understand...
Do you want me to follow your arrangements, or do you want me to break free from my habit of depending on you?
Never mind...
Things will work themselves out in the end; we'll see when the time comes.
——
The Namikaze Household.
In the spacious and bright living room, five little devils and a huge orange fat cat sat around.
Click, click...
Revolver was holding a large bag of dried fish, constantly scooping them out with his claws and stuffing handfuls into his mouth.
"Hey Revolver, stop right there! All we can hear is you chewing, we can't even discuss tactics!"
Naruto jumped onto the desk, put one hand on his hip and pointed at the Revolver with the other.
Click.
Revolver took one last bite (￣~￣), his dark eyes looking at Naruto: "You guys chat, I'm storing up fat for tomorrow!"
"We can eat it tomorrow morning! I've already contacted Uncle Teuchi, and there will be 300 servings of ramen tomorrow morning!"
"But... dried fish provides protein, while ramen mainly consists of glucose and trace elements..."
"Fat can only be accumulated by eating a variety of foods, cat."
Sasuke and Neji exchanged a silent glance.
Among the people and cats sitting around, he and Neji ate the least, which often bothered them.
Naruto and Revolver finally reached an agreement on the food issue.
Snap!
Karin slapped her little hand on the table.
"Okay, let's choose a team leader first!"
"I choose Sasuke-kun!"
"No way! I want to be the captain! We're the Uzumaki Squad, how can we let the Uchiha be the captain!"
"It's all because you rode your Revolver-chan faster and signed up first. It should have been called the Sasaka Squad!"
Seeing that the two Uzumaki Clan cubs were about to start arguing, Uchiha Sasuke his arms and snorted coldly.
How childish.
"I think Neji's abilities are suitable for being a captain," Sasuke said calmly.
He is confident in his own abilities, but in terms of team composition, the more calm and perceptive Neji be a better fit.
Sasuke's vote means Karin's vote is also for Neji.
Hinata wanted to choose Naruto, but Revolver cast his vote for Neji.
Revolver and Naruto have been friends since they were kids. Doesn't he know whether this kid is reliable or not?
Ultimately, the captain of the Uzumaki Squad was Hyuga.
Minato at home after a busy day.
Seeing Kushina covering the five little ones and the big fat cat sleeping on the sofa with blankets, she smiled warmly.
The children of the various Ninja Clan were able to live and cooperate harmoniously together.
That's great...
