Chimera Technique

Yet, he never expected that Uchiha Akira, who was by Kakashi's side, would be powerful to such an extent.

If I had known, I should have gone to the Underground Exchange to trade for intelligence first... He was filled with irritation.

He, Hiruko, had already been a Jonin during the Second Ninja World War and had utilized the Chimera Technique to fuse with numerous powerful Summoning Beasts.

To think he would be so vulnerable in front of this member of the Uchiha Clan!

Even the Sannin of that time were not this strong at this age! Hiruko felt furious.

The next moment, the giant beast rampaging through the forest suddenly froze, and the world before Hiruko's eyes instantly turned into a shade of black and red.

In the sky, a sinister Three Tomoe Sharingan was spinning.

He looked down and discovered he had been bound to a massive tree stump.

"Genjutsu of the Sharingan..." A look of terror appeared on Hiruko's face.

Before he could react, his entire consciousness plunged into darkness.

As Hiruko was controlled by the Sharingan's genjutsu, the Chimera Technique also failed.

Hiruko's true form was expelled from the giant Summoning Beast, reverting to the appearance he had when they first met.

At this moment, Uchiha Akira's left eye had already transformed into a Mangekyō Sharingan; to subdue Hiruko in one go, he had, in a sense, used his full strength this time.

It was no more than this when he controlled the Six-Tails Saiken previously.

Unlike controlling the Six-Tails Saiken, Hiruko was, after all, a ninja and lacked the vast chakra of a Tailed Beast, so Uchiha Akira could control him for a very long time.

The reason for doing so was, naturally, for Hiruko's Chimera Technique.

The potential of this ninjutsu was beyond doubt; it could plunder Kekkei Genkai and turn the Kekkei Genkai of others into one's own.

Having fused five types of Kekkei Genkai, one could even attain an immortal body, which showed just how immense the potential of this ninjutsu was.

By carefully selecting the five fused Kekkei Genkai, completing the Chimera Technique would make it no problem at all to leap into the ranks of the top powerhouses in the ninja world.

The potential of this ninjutsu depended on the fused Kekkei Genkai!

Upon discovering it was Hiruko, Uchiha Akira set his sights on the Chimera Technique.

If he hadn't discovered this forbidden jutsu with such great potential, so be it.

But since it had been delivered to his doorstep, Uchiha Akira had no choice but to take it.

Watching Hiruko, who was controlled by the genjutsu and standing in place, Uchiha Akira took out a blank scroll and a pen, threw them over, and commanded: "Write down your Chimera Technique and all the precautions for practicing it."

Swish, swish, swish~

Without hesitation, the genjutsu-controlled Hiruko bent down and began writing on the blank scroll.

Five minutes later, Hiruko stopped his hand and stood there blankly.

The blank scroll was filled with text, detailing the practice methods and various precautions for the Chimera Technique.

Seeing this, Uchiha Akira smiled, swept his Sharingan across it, and instantly recorded the entire content of the scroll.

Then, he put away the scroll containing the Chimera Technique.

Forming hand seals, a massive fireball incinerated Hiruko into a pile of ashes.

"I told you, there was no need to go over. Look, isn't he back?" Seeing Uchiha Akira appear, Hyuga Homura shrugged and looked at Kakashi and Chiba Ryu.

Kakashi glanced over without saying anything, then turned to look at the approaching Uchiha Akira and asked, "How did it go, Senior Ming?"

"Resolved. I used Fire Style to burn him to ashes," Uchiha Akira replied.

"Burned to nothing with Fire Style?" Kakashi was somewhat surprised.

"Burned to nothing," Uchiha Akira nodded, looked at Hyuga Homura, and said, "Jonin Homura should have been able to see it."

Hyuga Homura shook his head and said, "I didn't see it; my Byakugan cannot see at such a distance."

Chiba Ryu looked at Uchiha Akira and Kakashi and said, "Since everything is fine, I'll go back to rest. We'll come out for the night watch in the second half of the night."

After speaking, he didn't wait for a reply and walked toward his own tent, ducking inside.

Soon, only Kakashi and Uchiha Akira remained by the campfire.

The scene returned to silence, and Kakashi had no intention of speaking again, staring blankly at the fire, his thoughts drifting to who knows where.

Uchiha Akira, having just obtained the Chimera Technique, had no intention of communicating with Kakashi either; his mind was captivated by the Chimera Technique he had acquired from Hiruko.

The Chimera Technique has great promise! Browsing through the contents of the Chimera Technique in his memory, Uchiha Akira was greatly tempted.

It was no wonder that the future Hiruko had the confidence to declare war on the Five Great Nations; while there was an element of arrogance and a lack of self-awareness, the effects of the Chimera Technique once mastered were truly powerful.

Fusing with Summoning Beasts or other ninjas were merely superficial uses.

To truly master this Chimera Technique, one needed to fuse the Kekkei Genkai of five ninjas under the right time and place, and only then could one successfully complete the Chimera Technique in one go.

Thereby attaining an immortal body!

As for the five Kekkei Genkai, naturally, the more powerful, the better.

Of course, it wasn't just any five that would do; one needed to consider their compatibility with one another.

It would be disastrous if the five Kekkei Genkai were incompatible and ended up hindering one another.

If I truly intend to cultivate this Chimera Technique, then these five Kekkei Genkai require careful consideration, Uchiha Akira pondered to himself.

In his view, the Wood Release inherited from Hashirama Senju was an absolute must; the Hashirama Senju Cells would allow him to use his left Mangekyō Sharingan without restraint.

Therefore, Wood Release would certainly occupy one of the slots.

Fortunately, I already possess the Sharingan, so that saves me a slot, Uchiha Akira thought.

As it happens, I have a Byakugan on hand, Uchiha Akira recalled the eye he had obtained from the Kirigakure jōnin.

The potential of the Byakugan was beyond doubt; capable of evolving into the Tenseigan, it was a powerful Kekkei Genkai not inferior to the Rinnegan and could certainly serve as one of his choices.

The strength of Wood Release varied from person to person; in the hands of Hashirama Senju, it was invincible, proving too much even for Uchiha Madara when he wielded the Nine-Tails.

However, in the hands of Yamato, it was quite mediocre; it was a ninjutsu that relied on sheer power to create miracles.

At its core, Wood Release was merely a Kekkei Genkai fused from water and earth attributes, and it was not inherently stronger than any other Kekkei Genkai.

What was formidable was Hashirama Senju and the chakra of Asura, not the Wood Release itself.

For Uchiha Akira, what he truly desired was not the Wood Release, but the vitality contained within the Hashirama Senju Cells.

The remaining three Kekkei Genkai require some serious thought. Uchiha Akira could not think of any suitable candidates for the time being.
