Planning for Five Elements Fusion

The biggest advantage of Sharingan Genjutsu is that it doesn't require Hand Seals. This is similar to Ogura Saki's Wind Release without hand seals, which can release Vacuum Sphere from her mouth without needing to Hand Seals. However, this Vacuum Sphere still requires some preparation.

After assessing the speed at which Sokai could cast his Genjutsu, Yichen checked its power. Yichen's Yin Release had reached the third stage, making his soul power extremely strong. Naturally, Sokai's Genjutsu was ineffective.

Not only was Sokai- stage Genjutsu useless against Yichen, but even the B-rank Genjutsu used by Katsuya and Natsuki, two near-Jonin Quasi-Jonin Yin Release, had no effect on him.

Yichen's soul strength was very high, and he could easily see and dispel the Chakra that Sokai had placed on his soul. However, Yichen not do so; he was carefully assessing the power of Sokai's Genjutsu.

After a while, once Sokai's Genjutsu had completely disappeared, Yichen said, "There's not much of a problem with your Genjutsu casting, but there are many issues with maintaining it."

Next, Yichen Sokai's Genjutsu from the perspective of the victim.

Sokai didn't know that this kind of opportunity was extremely rare. Even if Sokai had received personal instruction from Fugaku Uchiha, he wouldn't have received such treatment.

Fugaku could pass on to Sokai was his experience in casting various Genjutsu, but Fugaku did not possess the pure Yin Release soul strength of Kage Level like Yichen.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Yichen's guidance was better than that of Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan, but rather that Yichen's guidance was in a very unique direction.

Before disbanding the Moryo Tentacle Research Group, Yichen had tested this on Natsuki, Katsuya, and other Genjutsu ninja. The results were excellent; from Yichen's unique perspective, many shortcomings in their Genjutsu were clearly visible.

Yichen's detailed analysis and description, the Genjutsu of the research team members have all made considerable progress.

Sokai's Genjutsu Talent is actually average, or rather, his talent in all aspects is average.

However, Yichen's unique guidance was of great help to him. In addition, he had awakened the Sharingan early on, and with this advantage, his progress could still be clearly felt.

Along the way, during rest breaks, Sokai thoroughly mastered the only Genjutsu he knew. Now, for Genin caught in Sokai's Genjutsu, it wouldn't be easy to break free of the Genjutsu through sheer willpower alone.

Of course, if this Genin had learned how to disrupt his own Chakra to break Genjutsu, then that would be a different story.

Several days later, the massive entourage finally arrived at the Land of Demons.

The new Miroku of the Land of Demons, Miroku, is already waiting for Yichen at the branch location chosen by the Iwa ninja.

Unlike the naive and clueless Kazahana Koyuki of the Land of Snow, Miroku had been Miko for over ten years and was well-versed in human relationships. Upon hearing that Yichen would personally oversee the branch's construction, she decided to humble herself and personally welcome Yichen.

Miroku knew very well that although she was a daimyo, Yichen was the Kage of a ninja village shared by three countries, and his status was far above hers.

Yichen was not surprised to see Miroku. The fact that Miroku could say she would hand over all the internal affairs of the Land of Demons to Iwagakure meant that she was not a fool. At the very least, she was a competent head of state.

At that time, Iwagakure had not yet annexed the Land of Demons, but Miroku proposed to hand over all power to Yichen. From another perspective, this was a strategic retreat.

In this cooperation, the Land of Demons was in a completely weaker position, so Miroku simply gave up on confronting the Iwagakure and placed himself in a completely disadvantaged position in order to win the favor of Yichen, the leader of the Iwagakure.

Yichen didn't really care about this, but he still had to respond to Miroku's overtures.

After Yichen greeted Miroku, her gaze fell on Little Shion, who was struggling to break free from Miroku's arms.

Little Shion was very excited to see Little Rhino Dog and Little Chōmei, whom she hadn't seen for a while. She made mumbled "Little Rhino Dog, Little Chōmei" and stretched out her little hands to try to grab the two Tailed Beasts.

Yichen said to Miroku, "Miroku, I wish to take Shion as my disciple. What is your opinion?"

Miroku's eyes lit up, knowing that his show of weakness had pleased the Tsuchikage before him. So he quickly said, "It is Shion's honor. I will agree on Shion's behalf."

Yichen smiled at Miroku.

The Moryo within Little Shion's body hasn't been completely resolved yet, and there's a risk of it going berserk. Yichen is somewhat similar to Little Shion Jinchuriki. As the Tsuchikage, it's only natural that Yichen would bring Shion under his control.

Miroku was very excited. He hugged Little Shion and taught her to call him "teacher." But Little Shion only had eyes for the two little Tailed Beast and didn't even notice Yichen.

Yichen didn't waste any time, letting the two Tailed Beast play with Little Shion. He then began planning the layout of the various departments of the branch on the selected open space.

Then, the large team brought by Yichen began to move about in an orderly manner. The construction of the Land of Demons Branch officially began.

Meanwhile, Uzumaki Riori and other Anbu were dispatched by Yichen to thoroughly wipe out the missing-nin, wandering ninjas, and bandits within the Land of Demons.

After the arrangements were made, Yichen was free again. Ming had considered things very carefully and even assigned Yichen someone to oversee the overall situation, so that Yichen could focus on being the manager of Shuaifei.

With nothing else to do, Yichen gathered his three disciples together and began an intensive training session.

"Sokai, your training from now on is very clear: build a solid foundation while continuing to familiarize yourself with your Sharingan. The focus is on improving your Sharingan Genjutsu," Yichen said.

"Yes," came the confident reply from Sokai.

Thanks to Yichen's guidance on the way here, his Sharingan Genjutsu has improved rapidly, and he is now full of confidence in himself.

Yichen continued, "Chiga and Ayumi, while you two solidify your foundation, you will begin Chakra Control training. Start with Tree Climbing and Water Walking."

"Chiga, besides these two points, you also need to Mental Strength Training. I will teach you a Sensory Ninjutsu. Your goal is to learn this Sensory Ninjutsu in a short time."

"Ayumi, your artistic talent cannot be wasted. I'm giving you a task: without affecting your other two training programs, think about how to incorporate your Chakra into your paintings."

"Yes," the two replied in unison.

After the three disciples began their training, Yichen encountered a problem. Chiga's Perception Talent was easy to handle. Sensory perception was also a Yin Release ability, Yichen could easily guide him.

However, Sasagawa Ayumi's talent for drawing is different. For Ayumi, the most suitable Ninjutsu for him is Sai of Konoha Root's signature Ninjutsu: Super Beast Imitation Drawing.

Sai also made some appearances during the Fourth Shinobi War, demonstrating the strength of an Elite Jonin, and was considered a strong figure among Elite Jonin.

Furthermore, Super Beast Imitation Drawing also possesses sealing abilities, indicating its great potential. Yichen believes that Sai may not have fully developed Super Beast Imitation Drawing Ninjutsu into its full potential.

Therefore, for an ordinary ninja like Sasagawa Ayumi, this Ninjutsu still has a bright future.

Unfortunately, Yichen doesn't possess the Super Beast Imitation Drawing Ninjutsu. Given the current tense relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha, it's practically impossible to exchange the desired Ninjutsu from Konoha. Tsunade wouldn't be foolish enough to aid the enemy.

Danzo didn't care about the benefits of betraying the village, but Yichen didn't have anything that Danzo valued, nor was Yichen willing to offer in exchange.

Therefore, the only way for Yichen to acquire Ninjutsu is through Orochimaru. Yichen believes that as long as he can offer something that will tempt Orochimaru, obtaining a Super Beast Imitation Drawing will not be difficult.

Yichen possesses White Zetsu clone, but has never had the opportunity to make a deal with Orochimaru. Now that Orochimaru has left Akatsuki Organization and is going to establish a ninja village in the Land of Whirlpools, Yichen really wants to go and meet with Orochimaru to have a chat.

Unfortunately, the higher-ups would never agree to Yichen going to the Land of Whirlpools at this time.

Since he couldn't obtain the Super Beast Imitation Drawing in a short time, Yichen had to think of other methods, such as the method of the Kurama Clan incorporating painting into Genjutsu.

Yichen once captured a member of the Kurama Clan in the Land of Fire and Interrogation him. He also deliberately exposed a weakness to lure him into using the Kurama Clan's unique abilities.

Katsuya had learned some Five Senses techniques from that member of the Kurama Clan.

Besides these, that person also performed some magical Genjutsu that altered the environment through painting. Unfortunately, the Iwagakure didn't understand the underlying principles and only recorded some insights in a half-copy and half-guess manner.

Yichen had naturally seen these materials before, and he recalled them after a little recollection. Yichen planned to organize this content as early learning material for Sasagawa Ayumi.

After planning the short-term training program for his three disciples, Yichen also needed to start thinking about his own future path.

Yichen's ultimate goal has remained unchanged since he was very young: to fuse the five attributes and achieve evolution at the Life level.

To fuse the five attributes, there's a major prerequisite: you must reach a certain level of proficiency in all five attributes. Yichen achieved this.

Porcelain Release, Storm Release, and Flame Release —these three bloodline limits encompass all five attributes. The fact that Yichen could develop a bloodline limit indicates that his mastery of that attribute was already extremely high, reaching a level of qualitative change.

It can be said that after so many years, Yichen has finally completed the first step towards his ultimate goal.

Yichen will face several different choices regarding what path to take next.

The first option is to continue developing Kekkei Genkai of different attributes. There are ten combinations of five attributes. Yichen has combined three: water and earth, water and lightning, and fire Kazekaze. There are also seven combinations: water and fire, water and Kazekaze, fire and earth, fire and lightning, lightning and earth, lightning and Kazekaze, and wind and earth.

If this step is truly accomplished and ten Kekkei Genkai are developed, then the rest will be much easier. Afterwards, whether it's fusing three, four, or even the final five attributes, it will be much smoother than developing them directly.

However, this process is too long, and Yichen can't afford to wait. Moreover, Yichen's strength won't improve significantly during this process. If he fails, or if he runs out of time, then Yichen will only be a background character in that battle of gods.

If all Seven Attributes could be calculated based on the time it took Yichen to develop the three bloodline limits before, then Yichen could barely accept it.

However, some of the next seven combinations were too difficult, even Yichen had no clue about them. For example, thunder and earth, wind and thunder.

It is extremely difficult to fuse two conflicting attributes.

Even Yichen couldn't calculate how much time it would take to fully develop all ten bloodline limits.
