Flesh-and-Blood Inscription, an Extremely Budget Six Paths Body

After trying out the Eight Inner Gates, Minamoto Takuya put on a yukata and headed to the Laboratory.

It was not that the Chimera Technique had already been successfully researched. In fact, its difficulty had somewhat exceeded his expectations, and it still had not been completed.

However, it had reached the final fusion stage.

This was only the fusion of the third bloodline. Researching the fourth and fifth would likely take a great deal more time.

Minamoto Takuya had a bit of a headache over this, but there was nothing he could do.

At this point, it was no longer very likely that he could find Hiruko. Besides, he felt Hiruko's research progress might not even be as far along as his.

There were still more than ten years before Hiruko made his move in the Original Work. Minamoto Takuya could not wait that long, so he could only fumble his way through the research himself.

Sometimes, Minamoto Takuya truly felt that even with such a miraculous ninjutsu as the Shadow Clone, he still could not keep up with everything.

Ninjutsu, Sealing Jutsu, the Chimera Technique, physical constitution—these were all problems he needed to tackle one by one.

Minamoto Takuya shook his head and stopped dwelling on it. He had come here this time because the Sealing Jutsu he had envisioned had achieved preliminary success.

That was right—the Sealing Fire Seal, Water Sealing Seal, and so on...

However, those were merely his public research projects, the Sealing Jutsu he would later present as his research results.

In truth, what he had researched had other uses as well.

Minamoto Takuya took a deep breath and created a Shadow Clone.

"Are you prepared?" The Shadow Clone thought of what they were about to do and could not help asking.

"Do it."
