Researching Kekkei Genkai

Still, something is better than nothing. No matter how poor Lin Chuan's medical ninjutsu might be, it was still effective. Besides, he had already checked; the injuries sustained by Bu Lianshi and Qin Lang were mostly external, with few internal wounds, and none were particularly severe. The reason they remained in a comatose state was entirely due to exhaustion from overexertion.

Spending half an hour, Lin Chuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had finally treated their external wounds. He estimated it wouldn't be long before they woke up, and a full recovery was only a matter of time.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground to begin his recovery meditation. Using chakra consumed physical energy, which was why he felt so fatigued. As for Prince Naruto, who only seemed to get more energetic the more he used Sage Chakra, that was simply because the guy had an absurd amount of chakra—the physique of the Uzumaki Clan was no joke.

Once I manage to transform my own body into a Sage Body, things should get much better! Lin Chuan thought to himself.

Not long after, Lin Chuan opened his eyes. The stinging pain in his body had mostly vanished, and he felt refreshed.

Glancing back at the soundly sleeping Bu Lianshi and Qin Lang, Lin Chuan decided not to disturb them and instead turned his attention to examining his newly acquired abilities.

The power of Shikotsumyaku was well-demonstrated in the original Naruto series. Even Orochimaru had coveted Kimimaro's body; had it not been for his bloodline disease, Kimimaro would have been Orochimaru's chosen vessel for reincarnation.

Now that he had truly obtained Shikotsumyaku, Lin Chuan realized the terrifying nature of this Kekkei Genkai. Its strength lay not only in its offensive power but also in its monstrous regenerative capabilities.

In the series, Kimimaro fought Naruto, Rock Lee, and Gaara in succession, using incredibly powerful techniques. Yet, every time he manipulated his bones to attack, his flesh would heal in an incredibly short amount of time.

Take the Finger Bullet, for example: when he fired his finger bones, not a drop of blood was shed, and the flesh at his fingertips would heal almost instantly. The same occurred when he extracted his arm bones or even his spine.

Although the self-inflicted damage from controlling his own body was far less than damage caused by others, it still served as a testament to the recovery speed provided by Shikotsumyaku.

Although the original work never explained the relationship between the Kaguya Clan and Kaguya Otsutsuki, one can tell from the names alone that there must be a connection. Furthermore, Kaguya Otsutsuki's All-Killing Ash Bones is likely the origin of Shikotsumyaku. This means that if I develop my Shikotsumyaku to its limit, I will also obtain that powerful ability!

All-Killing Ash Bones, Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, Yomotsu Hirasaka, Amenominaka... as I grow, these abilities of Kaguya Otsutsuki will emerge one by one. When that time comes, I should be what this world calls an immortal, Lin Chuan mused to himself.

After the incident where the Fruit of the God Tree devoured the medicinal herbs, Lin Chuan suspected that the fruit inside him might not be as simple as he had imagined.

The thing seemed to possess a rudimentary consciousness. Although this consciousness was extremely faint and lacked true intelligence, the craving it displayed for certain things was undeniably real.

Previously, he had always assumed that his own body was unable to bear the power of the Fruit of the God Tree, which was why it hadn't been absorbed. But now, it seemed there was more to it than that.

His body's capacity was indeed one issue, but the Fruit of the God Tree itself had its own agenda. If Lin Chuan wasn't mistaken, the fruit was growing by devouring the herbs, in turn releasing more energy to nourish him.

I wonder how this will end. Will I eventually grow into the physical form of the Ten-Tails? Lin Chuan thought, then shook his head. Speculating on this now was of little use, but he had discovered a way to improve his abilities: feeding herbs to the Fruit of the God Tree.

Once this assessment is over, I'll have to find some herbs for the fruit to devour. I just don't know if I'll encounter that situation again. At the mere thought of the agony he felt when the spiritual energy dispersed through his body, Lin Chuan shuddered.

Sigh, the knock-off goods bought on some online marketplace really can't compare to the genuine article! Lin Chuan rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath.

Right, since my Sharingan abilities have improved, I wonder if there have been any changes to the Rinne Sharingan and the Tenseigan?

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan immediately began to experiment. He discovered that the Rinne Sharingan showed almost no change; it remained dormant in the center of his forehead, impossible to activate. He could only project its ocular power into his eyes to use, but it wasn't the true power of the Rinne Sharingan—it could only be split into the Rinnegan and Sharingan to be used separately, just as before.

My chakra is still too low to use the abilities of the Rinnegan. Otherwise, I could try to create the Six Paths of Pain! If I could use the Six Paths of Pain to act, my true body would be much safer, and I wouldn't have to reveal too much. Many things I can't do personally could be left to the Six Paths.

Lin Chuan shook his head. After all, he was only nine years old; it was normal that he couldn't use them. Otherwise, Nagato would have been invincible as a child.

Although he couldn't use the Six Paths abilities, the Rinnegan wasn't entirely useless. At the very least, with these eyes, Lin Chuan would learn and research ninjutsu much faster. That, at least, was the benefit of the Rinnegan's mastery over all mainstream ninjutsu.

Now, that leaves the Tenseigan. I'm quite looking forward to this! Lin Chuan thought. His white pupils began to shift into a sky-blue hue. The moment the Tenseigan manifested, Lin Chuan immediately noticed a difference.

It seems to be significantly more powerful... Lin Chuan mused, then began to test the six major abilities of the Tenseigan.

Not long after, Swish! As Lin Chuan swiped his finger, the space in front of him tore open. He immediately channeled the ocular power of the Tenseigan into the rift, stabilizing a space of about one cubic meter.

To think that the first Tenseigan ability I could use would be a spatial one... Lin Chuan exclaimed in ecstasy. Otsutsuki Toneri had once used the spatial abilities of the Tenseigan to create a portal between the moon and the Earth, which showed just how powerful the Tenseigan's spatial capabilities were.

It seems that because of the Tenseigan's power, maintaining this small space doesn't consume much chakra. In other words, I have a storage bag that no one will ever discover!! Lin Chuan immediately realized what the emergence of this ability meant, and a wide grin spread across his face.

Just then, Lin Chuan's Tenseigan gaze shifted, catching a scene in the lava tunnel outside.

That looks like Han Qing, the one who clashed with me earlier. It seems he's being hunted... I wonder who he offended... Lin Chuan shook his head and ignored it. Just as he was about to continue researching the Tenseigan, Bu Lianshi stirred slightly and began to wake from her slumber.
