Forging the Ring of Kekkei Tōta in One Stroke

In fact, Shazo had already noticed the problem during the process of fusing the Nuclear Style.

Luck, the Heavenly Tribulation Shazo brought about a significant boost to his life essence. His shared understanding of the Kree technology, along with Marvel Shazo observations of the Kree technology, dramatically elevated his knowledge of the microscopic world to a whole new level.

Shazo was able to easily fuse with the Nuclear Style Kekkei Tōta by relying on his own strength and the advantage of his high position.

If I were to be eliminated by the Dark Style Kekkei Tōta today, only to be stuck by the Dust Release Kekkei Tōta, it would probably take countless years to accumulate experience and lessons from repeated failures before finally achieving a breakthrough.

One step behind leads to another.

If Shazo's strength improvement slows down, all subsequent plans will be disrupted.

If things drag on until Black Zetsu launches his plan Six Paths Obito is born, he won't have time to continue his predetermined path of Kekkei Genkai.

Unable to reach the level of the Kekkei Mōra in time, Shazo had no confidence in surviving the world-destroying [Infinite Tsukuyomi], let alone facing Kaguya Otsutsuki or even Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

With this in mind, Shazo's desire to accelerate the process grew wildly, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and he could no longer control it.

With everything prepared for the elimination of the Dark Style Kekkei Tōta, he was just one step away from success, and he was absolutely confident that he would succeed this time.

He had also conducted preliminary research on the fusion of Dust Release and Kekkei Tōta, but it was still lacking practical verification.

The reason why Xia Zuo chose to prioritize fusing Nuclear Style and Dark Style was because he obtained Shazo's flesh and blood when he beat Ōnoki up.

With the complete version of the Kekkei Tōta Ninja's flesh and blood, the fusion difficulty of Dust Release Kekkei Tōta would be greatly reduced, which is why he chose it as the final fusion target.

Of the two Kekkei Tōta Chakra, only the Wind Style Chakra is the same, and coincidentally, their Nature Transformation requirements are completely identical.

Both Dark Style and Dust Release require Wind Style Chakra to Nature Transformation of Shattering, which means further subdividing the powerful cutting attribute of Wind Style until it reaches the point of instantaneous weathering.

Shazo suddenly realized that he was now fully prepared and had the means to simultaneously fuse two types of Kekkei Tōta, thus creating the Ring of Kekkei Tōta in one fell swoop.

Shazo took several deep breaths and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He was going to risk fusing two Kekkei Tōta at the same time.

The Wind Style, Water Release, and Lightning Release Chakra underwent Nature Transformation, using the surface of the Sealing Array as an entrance and the middle layer of the seal as space, and began to merge.

The Dark Style Chakra, imbued with an aura of annihilation, successfully fused and was born. Its powerful and terrifying absorption force was controlled by the Sealing Array, allowing it to draw upon Nature Transformation Chakra input from the outside. It grew slowly and orderly, giving Shazo time to adapt and control it.

As the Dark Style Chakra grew stronger, it absorbed power and continuously eroded the Sealing Array, while at the same time slowly merging with the Sealing Array under immense pressure.

The Yin Yang Balance Space at the core of the Sealing Array underwent adaptive changes due to the fusion, and its changes converged with those of the Dark Style Chakra.

This is called a two-way effort under high pressure.

Seeing that everything was going according to plan, Shazo tried his best to squeeze out the potential of his body and once again drew out his Wind Style Chakra.

Even as Shazo began to integrate with the Dark Style Kekkei Tōta, the extraction of a sufficient amount of Wind Style Chakra was too much for him, leaving him with a strange feeling of his body being drained.

It took Xia Zuo a second to dispel this illusion. Shazo squeezed out Fire Style and Earth Release Chakra and began the corresponding Nature Transformation.

After completing all this, Shazo used his left hand to make a cut on his right wrist, removing one of the thin seals on his wrist and taking out a small test tube.

He poured the still-fresh flesh and blood from the test tube into his palm, using the flesh and blood of Ōnoki as a starting point to fuse the transformed Chakra of Wind Style, Fire Style, and Earth Release Nature Transformation.

The flesh and blood of the most senior Dust Release Kekkei Tōta Ninja played a huge role, and Shazo barely expended any mental energy as a Chakra imbued with an aura of destruction was released.

This is the most difficult moment to simultaneously fuse the two Kekkei Tōta. The Wind Style Chakra participates in the fusion of the two, and the Annihilation of the Dark Style and the Destruction of the Dust Release affect the Wind Style Chakra, prompting it to change towards its own attribute more quickly.

Shazo must use his own Spiritual Power to form a barrier to separate the changes between the two attributes, but he cannot completely sever the connection between the Wind Style Chakra.

Only in this way can the Wind Style Chakra be used as a rope to pull the Dark Style and Dust Release to achieve balance, reduce the pressure on Shazo, and minimize the difficulty when embedding the Ring of Kekkei Tōta next.

This is truly a life-threatening situation.

Shazo felt as if he had become the rope itself, being pulled by two extremely destructive forces, and he had to pull on them with all his might to avoid being torn apart.

At the same time, he is also a barrier that blocks the two forces. When the two forces get close, he does his best to push them away to avoid being destroyed by the chain reaction.

Amidst this agonizing struggle, Shazo persevered until the moment when his Dust Release Chakra Dark Style Chakra united and reflected in his body's bloodline.

With the Shazo was finally able to stretch his ribs and begin to breathe, and at the same time, sweat was finally able to gush out, flowing down his well-defined muscles like a stream.

Yes, the dignified Fifth Hokage is still just a naked chicken.

Actually, whether he was wearing clothes or not made no difference.

Due to the clash between Dust Release and Dark Style, both forces experienced considerable chaos and spread.

The spreading power formed an Energy Domain with a diameter of over ten meters centered on Shazo's body. It was also divided into a white Dust Release hemisphere and a black Dark Style hemisphere, with Shazo's body's central axis as the boundary.

The newly built three-bedroom, two-living-room mansion disappeared once again; half of it was absorbed into Shazo's body, and the other half was pulverized into nothingness.

In this terrifying Energy Domain, Shazo couldn't even care about his own hair, becoming bald, as if he were cosplaying Saitama.

No, Saitama- sensei just doesn't have hair; at least he has eyebrows and... well, you know. How can he be as clean-shaven as Shazo?

Shazo, the second son, didn't care that he was running around naked. All his attention was on breathing, seizing every moment to recover his energy and strength.

When the Bloodline Reflection had yielded initial results, he used Wind Style Chakra as a lever to draw back Dark Style Chakra Dust Release Chakra into his body, then lifted them upwards and sent them into the Ring of Kekkei Tōta.

The insertion of two entirely new Kekkei Tōta disrupted the original triangular balance of Wood Release, Steel Style, and Nuclear Style, triggering fierce resistance from the three types of Kekkei Tōta.

At this moment, while under immense pressure, Shazo also felt incredibly Luck.

The resistance from the three types of Kekkei Tōta was already so terrifying; if it were four types combined, he probably wouldn't be able to push through at all with his current strength.

Without forming Ring of Kekkei Tōta, he cannot effectively improve his strength.

This creates an impossible closed loop.

Gritting his teeth, persevering, and fighting desperately, Shazo used all his strength and skills. Just when he felt he couldn't hold on any longer, seeing that little bit of progress gave him renewed strength to continue.

Finally, Shazo pushed both Dark Style and Dust Release into the Ring of Kekkei Tōta.

After a violent collision and shock, Wood Release, Steel Style, Nuclear Style, Dark Style, and Dust Release formed a perfect Pentagonal Distribution.

The rotation speed of the Kekkei Tōta Ring began to change. By connecting the two versions of Wood Release and coordinating with the Kekkei Genkai Ring in his abdomen, after repeated oscillations of fast and slow, the running speed of the two rings stabilized.

Shazo then felt changes in his body, a feeling of power growth a hundred times stronger than when the Kekkei Genkai Ring was formed.

His vast Chakra, accumulated over many years, was adjusted through two bloodline rings, carrying the essential information of the Ninja World, and returned to the cells of his body, guiding changes in the genetic information of the Cell Nucleus.

Shazo is changing little by little, and it's a change that starts from the root.

He stood naked in the sunlight, feeling the changes in his body and speculating on the next direction of those changes.

After a long while, Shazo opened his eyes with a smile.

He first went to a small warehouse in the distance and found his Spare Clothes there.

As he dressed, he said, "You lecherous woman, haven't you had enough of looking?"

"Hmph, it's quite interesting to see them all naked like this."

Tsunade appeared languidly in front of the warehouse door with her arms crossed, seemingly indifferent as she responded, but her eyes were fixed on a mysterious area with a gleaming light.

As Shazo finished dressing, his demeanor changed.

The comical feeling of peeling a boiled egg vanished completely, replaced by a terrifying aura that made Tsunade's pupils shrink.

Her bright red lips parted, and she exclaimed in amazement, "You've gotten even stronger! What strange things have you accomplished in the past day and night?"

Shazo laughed and retorted, "When did I do anything weird? I've always been working hard on the path of Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta."

Tsunade's eyes widened. "No way, you've mastered another bloodline limit?"

Shazo couldn't suppress his joy. "Yes, and there are two: Dark Style Kekkei Tōta and Dust Release Kekkei Tōta."

Tsunade laughed heartily, "Oh dear, it's a good thing old man Sarutobi Clan died young, otherwise, seeing you come up with new bloodline limits every now and then, and thinking about how he never managed to create a single Kekkei Genkai in his entire life, he'd probably be driven to his death by your sheer rage."

o

"Haha, it's Dust Release, and Kekkei Tōta! Ah~, the Tsuchikage Ōnoki is going to go berserk again."

"However, now that you've even mastered Dust Release, I think he definitely won't dare to say anything this time."

"Wait, Dark Style Kekkei Tōta? Isn't Dark Style Kekkei Genkai?"

Shazo smiled and said, "Dark Style is Kekkei Genkai, but my Dark Style is Kekkei Tōta, so there's no conflict between them."

Tsunade had long been convinced of Shazo and had no doubt that Shazo was lying to her.

The blonde, Twin-Tails, middle-aged woman clutched her head, muttering, "How could this be? Was everything I learned in the past 40 years just fake knowledge?"

Shazo Zuo chuckled and said, "The knowledge we learn becomes wrong over time, which is a sign that the Ninja World is developing vigorously and is on the right track."

"If all past knowledge is correct, and older Ninjutsu is always stronger, then that only proves that the Ninja World is declining."

Tsunade nodded repeatedly, but she didn't like what Shazo said next, "So, one should learn until old age, constantly renewing oneself—"

Before Shazo could finish speaking, Tsunade heard the word "old" and pounced on him without thinking, grabbing Shazo right arm and biting it.

He mumbled indistinctly while biting.

"You brat, how dare you complain about me being old?"

"Look at my skin, my lips, my career—where am I inferior to a young girl?"

"You little bastard, I'll bite you to death!"

Shazo cried out, "Ouch! Ouch!" while using his left hand to rub the beautiful head.

Seeing that he couldn't pry it open, he resorted to verbal attacks. "What's wrong with you, big sister?"

"Isn't it true that you claimed to have studied for 40 years, but it's clearly your age that's being exposed?"

"One of the legendary Konoha Sannin of Konoha, you're acting like a puppy biting someone? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Shut up! If you bite again—I'll bite you!"

"Hmph, I'll bite!"

"Okay, then I'll bite too!"

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah----"

"Dirty, dirty, dirty (can be understood literally)"

After a satisfying game of mahjong, Tsunade, drenched in sweat, sighed and lay down lazily, letting out a comfortable groan.

She asked softly, "You brat, are there really two types of Dark Style?"

Shazo activated Boil Style and Scorch Release to clean the stains off the two of them, and replied softly, "There are indeed two types, and not just Dark Style, but Steel Style and Wood Release also have two types."

The most obvious example is Wood Release.

"There are two Wood Release Ninja in Konoha now. Are my Wood Release the same as Tenzo's?"

"Tenzo's Wood Release is Kekkei Genkai, and compared to the Kekkei Tōta Dust Release of the past Tsuchikage, it is indeed not in the same league at all."

"But is my Wood Release, and the First Hokage's Wood Release, inferior to Ōnoki's Dust Release?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and nodded in strong agreement, "You're right, they're both Wood Release, but they are indeed two completely different bloodline limits."

But why is this happening?

Shazo replied, "I guess it's for inheritance and reproduction."

Tsunade's face suddenly turned red, and she reached out to pinch her little lover, but Shazo grabbed her hand and started playing with it, squeezing and pinching it.

Shazo mocked, "Why are you shy about such a serious topic? You're supposed to be Konoha's strongest Medical Ninja."

Tsunade: "Hmph! Then tell me, what exactly is the reason?"

Shazo explained, "Ninja's power comes from the Chakra transmitted by the Sage of Six Paths, and Ninja's Kekkei Genkai comes from the Talent contained within the Sage's bloodline."

"As time passed, the bloodline of the immortals evolved into many families with Kekkei Genkai, but it also gradually became weaker, making it difficult for Ninja with overly frail bodies to withstand such powerful Talent."

"But the power of Talent still continues in the Ninja's bloodline, and the weakened Kekkei Tōta results in hunger."

"As the bloodline of immortals further dilutes, the Kekkei Tōta system can no longer be passed down, and weaker Kekkei Genkai are born."
