The advancement of the Tenseigan should be more difficult than that of the Rinnegan.

Because the Hyuga Clan was giving up, while the Uchiha Clan was striving to improve.

Through generations of effort by the Uchiha Clan, five stages were laid out from the Sharingan the Rinnegan.

One-Tomoe, Two-Tomoe, Mitsudomoe, Mangekyō Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan – each Awakening of the Sharingan brings tremendous changes to the body and an increase in Chakra.

With so many preparations and leverage, the difficulty of advancing from the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to the Rinnegan, and the ability to utilize the flesh and blood of the Senju of the Forest, naturally decreased significantly.

For Madara Uchiha. But for Shazo, who elevated the essence of life on his own, the final step of the Rinnegan was just an easy leap.

In contrast, the Hyuga Clan has relied on a set of Gentle Fist techniques to get by for thousands of years, and then they have internal conflicts such as the Main Family families, which Shattering people's hearts and made them lose all ambition.

A thousand years have passed, Byakugan achieved widespread Awakening, but then it was gone, nothing at all.

The Byakugan is what one is like Awakening, and it remains that way until death.

Aside from the fact that the branch family gained an additional weakness due to the Caged Bird Seal, the Byakugan of all Hyūga Ninja is virtually identical.

At most, Hinata Hyuga's eyes could be praised with the phrase, "What pure Byakugan!"

This means that the advancement from Byakugan to Tenseigan requires a leap in quality of thousands of times, while also requiring an advancement in the body's fundamental nature. The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Even someone like Shazo, who meets all the requirements, still needs to gradually adapt his body to the changes.

After all, he didn't have a Tenseigan by his side to constantly adjust his body, allowing him to complete all the preparations for Tenseigan in advance.

However, even though Shazo had gathered all the necessary conditions and even raised his level of life, he still discovered a problem.

The problem stems from the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.

Prior to this, Shazo's body had already adapted to the Rinnegan and had its own data written into the Root. At this point, attempting to rewrite the Root with the Rinnegan naturally met with resistance from the Rinnegan.

Two forces of equal quality, similar attributes, and mutual repulsion clashed, and naturally, the still-developing Tenseigan was at a disadvantage. As soon as it wrote its data into the source, it was washed away by the power of the Rinnegan.

The evolution of the Tenseigan has become increasingly difficult, and there has even been a regression in the evolutionary progress.

Seeing his Tenseigan being suppressed by the Rinnegan, Shazo couldn't help but frown.

But he dared not act rashly or forcefully.

Unlike other body organs, the eyes have their own independent immune system, and once damaged, they cannot Self-Healing.

He would then have to borrow a pair of Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan, which would disrupt the harmony and balance of his body, hindering his ascent to the Kekkei Mōra, and possibly even severing the "ladder to heaven" that allowed him to surpass the limits of the Otsutsuki.

In Heavenly Tribulation Shazo's memories, the Daoism concept of "this body is a precious raft for crossing the world" was regarded as the guiding principle. Although the sealing by the Heavenly Tribulation prevented Shazo from knowing the reason behind it, it did not prevent Shazo from following this principle.

After all, the Heavenly Tribulation Shazo is about to complete his Tribulation Transcendence, and his life level is the highest among all Shazo, even above Saint Seiya Shazo and Saiyan Shazo.

At this moment, if I can't take it out on my eyes, then I can only vent my anger on my body.

As Mr. Tree People once said: If a room is too dark and you want to open a window, no one will agree, but if you want to tear down the roof, they will agree to open a window.

If the deeply ingrained Rinnegan refuses to accept the Tenseigan, then introduce another being of the same level, but with even more violent impact.

But this thing is really dangerous.

After taking several deep breaths, Shazo made up his mind and took out a test tube containing a small amount of gray powder, which was the ashes taken from Kaguya Kimimaro's body.

Orochimaru discovered that Kimimaro's Kekkei Genkai illness originated from his "Shikotsumyaku" Kekkei Genkai.

Because the atavism caused the bloodline to become excessively pure, the Awakening Shikotsumyaku was at an extremely high level, even surpassing the level of Kekkei Tōta, thus producing the most destructive effect.

But before Kimimaro could use this effect, he first destroyed his own body.

This disease cannot be cured, but it can be managed through regular hemodialysis. Thus, Kimimaro's life was saved, while Shazo received the toxic "impurities" from the hemodialysis.

Currently, only the Fifth Hokage Ninja World that these "impurities" that poisoned Kimimaro were actually one of Kaguya Otsutsuki's Kekkei Mōra abilities, [All-Killing Ash Bones].

This is a divine skill that can kill anyone who touches it.

Even the test tube containing the gray ashes was the pinnacle of Konoha's Sealing Technique; the ashes were enveloped in a layer of Electromagnetic Force and kept at a sufficient distance from the glass.

It took Shazo several minutes of mental preparation before he finally made up his mind to touch such a dangerous thing.

When the gray ashes touched Shazo's palm, his skin immediately turned dark gray and shattered and scattered.

The destruction of the ashes stopped abruptly upon contact with the metacarpal bones. The bones, being part of the same Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai, withstood the destruction of the [All-Killing Ash Bones] and absorbed the ashes into their interiors.

The "Shikotsumyaku" within Shazo's body suddenly erupted, like an avalanche that had accumulated enough potential energy, unstoppably and wildly altering the very essence of Shazo's body.

The Rinnegan's power, which had been suppressing the Tenseigan, was immediately overwhelmed by the Shikotsumyaku), and it almost had its very foundation destroyed.

Shazo clicked his tongue and said, "I miscalculated. The power of [All-Killing Ash Bones] is too great. It was able to suppress both kinds of Dōjutsu. This won't do."

"Balance! I need balance!"

"Oh dear, even such a massive infusion of Chakra isn't enough. Let's just start spinning it then."

The Rinnegan absorbs the destructive Chakra of the Shikotsumyaku, dissipates its excessive destructive power through transmutation, and then passes it on to the Tenseigan. After Yin-Yang reversal, it becomes the most vital life force, and finally passes it on to the Shikotsumyaku.

After this cycle, a "wheel" based on the transformation of Chakra properties is formed.

The moment this cycle appears, the Kekkei Genkai Reversal Cycle and the Kekkei Tōta Reversal Cycle resonate with it, forming an energy system that runs through the entire body.

Shazo then felt his body automatically enter a new state of evolution.

The evolutionary process exhibits unparalleled priority, not only forcibly plundering the body's Chakra and stamina, but also forcibly extracting its energy and blood.

Just a few seconds later, Shazo felt waves of emptiness due to the rapid loss of Chakra, spirit, and blood.

Fortunately, he was able to clearly determine that this was merely a physical illusion, not a real situation, which is why he did not sense any danger.

Luck, his continuous cultivation over the past three years, along with his research and absorption of the Dragon Vein, had already prepared ample energy reserves within his body.

Even more Luck, the life level shared by Heavenly Tribulation Shazo allowed his evolution to, in a sense, "return" to his proper life level, releasing his original potential.

In other words, his first breakthrough will not lead to disordered enhancement without higher-level guidance, causing his entire being to fail in evolution due to deformity.

He could even lie down and take a nap, and when he woke up, he would become the new Shazo, a Shazo who possessed the Kekkei Mōra.

Thinking about sleep, Shazo couldn't help but yawn, and then another one.

"I can't hold on any longer, I need to sleep for a little while, just a short while, it won't delay my meeting with Madara Uchiha."

"Just leave one Wood Clone to hold things off a bit, enough to prevent the whole thing from collapsing."

"What a pity, I won't be able to witness the collapse of the Akatsuki's nested conspiracy."

Will Black Zetsu personally control Nagato to revive Madara Uchiha this time?

How will Obito Uchiha launch Sneak Attack on Nagato this time?

How will Madara Uchiha Obito?

"That's a bit of a shame."

Shazo quickly made all the preparations, creating double-digit Wood Clone and infusing them with more Hashirama Senju than Chakra and Natural Energy from the Dragon Vein.

Then he returned to his home, lay down on his most familiar bed, pulled the blanket over his navel, and fell into a deep sleep.

Plane Dreamscape.

"Good heavens, in the entire first half of the Fourth Shinobi World War, you only managed to crush Deidara. What's the difference between that and being invisible?"

Marvel Shazo was making a ruckus, complaining about Naruto Shazo's inaction. "You should have caught Nagato, stuffed the Tailed Beast into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, gouged out his eyes, and shoved them into Madara Uchiha's eye sockets, forcing him to use [Infinite Tsukuyomi], and then seen what kind of person Kaguya Otsutsuki really was!"

Naruto Shazo retorted irritably, "Easy for you to say. You're the leader of United States industrial conglomerate, why don't you just ascend the throne and become the emperor of the United States Empire?"

Marvel Shazo laughed heartily, "My 'leader' title is just a facade; I can do nothing and people will fawn over me, but if I dare to do anything, I'll become everyone's enemy."

"I need a war to prove to everyone that my force is enough to destroy them, and only then will these cowards who bully the weak be convinced."

Naruto Shazo said, "Then why don't you use them as targets and prove it to them directly?"

Marvel Shazo shrugged. "It's simple. If I want to live a comfortable life, I need them to provide all sorts of services."

"If I kill them all, I'll become the World's Number One villain. Who knows how many Superhero will come looking for trouble then?"

Naruto Shazo laughed heartily, "Isn't this perfect? Capture the male Superhero and use them as laborers, lock up the female Superhero and... you know, huh?"

"Get lost, as if you're capable of doing something this awful."

"Hmph, you were the one who joked with me first!"

"Sigh, Hokage's almost over, and I haven't even started my first boss battle yet," Shinigami Xiazhuo muttered. "Aizen even stopped being the Fifth Division Captain. I wonder when this will ever end."

Pirate Shazo laughed and said, "I'm better than you. At least the Pirate World has a specific timeline, so I know when that kid set sail. It hasn't been many years since then."

He clenched his fist. "However, I'm already itching for action in the East Blue, and I don't know if I can hold out until the day of the naval conscription."

The three members of the Death Fire Sea, and One Piece, along with Marvel Shazo, were chatting animatedly. However, Star Trek Shazo stared intently at a Shazo dressed in classical and Hanfu attire, and after a long while, finally asked, "Who are you?"

"Shazo."

"Nonsense! Everyone here is Shazo. Which world's Shazo are you?"

"The World of the Devourer"

"I don't remember."

"In that world where there's a Dinosaur People called Daya who wants to raise humans as food, we're driving the moon and crashing into the enemy's Tire Planet mothership."

Star Trek Shazo stared at him, dumbfounded, and almost screamed, "You, you're Soldier Shazo, what happened to you?"

Soldier Shazo's skin was as white as snow and as delicate as porcelain, but his smile was quite stiff, like that of a doll.

He said expressionlessly, "There's no other way. The war has dragged on into its second year, and 90% of the Earth's air and water have been extracted. There's no atmosphere left on Earth, and no oxygen. The only option for us who don't want to surrender is to transform ourselves."

Star Trek Shazo Zuo nodded. "Flesh and blood are weak, but machinery can ascend."

"When high-tech civilization reaches its final stage, if it cannot directly elevate the level of life, it will inevitably follow this path."

"But you're going too far like this. How did you even manage that?"

Soldier Shazo replied calmly and attentively, "Initially, the war required us to adapt to the integrated air and space warfare environment. After all, commanding more than 60,000 drones demands an extremely high level of reaction speed."

"Inserting nano-gold wires into the body to Deity Transformation conduction marks the beginning of human mechanization."

"Once the atmosphere is stripped away, survivors will have to take refuge in underground shelters, and will need to wear Level 3 protective gear to go out to work and move around."

"But soldiers participating in wars couldn't do that, so an oxygen molecule self-circulation system replaced the lungs, and artificial shape memory metals replaced heart cells to enhance circulatory function."

Soldier Shazo pointed to his face. "I now have the updated version 17.3 body system. I've completely abandoned the respiratory and digestive systems, and even half of my brain cells have been replaced by intelligent protein molecules. My skin is made of flexible ceramic that can withstand strong magnetic radiation."

Star Trek Shazo Zuo gasped, "You're acting recklessly! Have you no humanity at all?!"

Soldier Shazo remained unmoved. "The enemy is strong and we are weak. Even our living environment has been destroyed. Those who cannot adapt will die, while adventurers still have a glimmer of hope. That's human nature!"

"Those beings you mentioned who possess humanity also exist; they live carefree, animalistic lives on the Dinosaur People's Tire Planet, in a specially created Garden of Eden."

"Dinosaur People understood human nature very well. The Garden of Eden had a perpetually comfortable temperature, so they didn't even need to wear clothes. There was plenty of food, so they didn't need to work hard to earn it. Every day they woke up and just ate, drank, played, and reproduced."

"For some, that is the Western paradise."
