After the members of the Akatsuki finished talking, their words and resolve seemed to linger in the air.
Now, let us turn our attention to the protagonist—Uchiha Ruri.
Ruri had left Amegakure and was standing in a dim forest surrounded by densely packed trees.
Ruri took a deep breath. What came next would be crucial. It would affect not only her own fate but also the balance of power in the Ninja World.
She formed Hand Seals and murmured, "Shadow Clone Technique." As her voice fell, her body began to undergo a marvelous change.
A mighty power surged within Ruri. It was Six Paths Power—a force that surpassed ordinary people and verged on the divine.
She infused this power into the Shadow Clone Technique, instantly elevating the jutsu to a whole new level.
Her figure split in two, then four, then eight... In the blink of an eye, countless clones of Ruri appeared throughout the forest.
Each clone looked so lifelike that they seemed to be the real Ruri.
"Holy crap, that used up more than half my Six Paths Power. I'm a little woozy. Is Six Paths Power really this insane? I made way too many clones."
Ruri couldn't help gaping at the Shadow Clones surrounding her. They all looked exactly like her, and for a moment, she felt a little dazed.
With power like this, she could use any jutsu however she wanted!
Ruri's original stood in the center, brows furrowed as if she were pondering something.
The Shadow Clones around her kept moving, as though waiting for her orders.
Though they were all Ruri's clones, each had its own unique thoughts and consciousness. They were like a vast army awaiting her command.
"Hey, original, what are you planning? Stirring up trouble in the Akatsuki, or killing people in Konoha? Why make so many clones?" one clone asked.
Ruri's original said nothing. She simply closed her eyes in silence. She knew that, powerful as she was, she couldn't use her strength recklessly.
"Okay, okay. You made Itachi feel that guilty, 666," another clone teased.
The corner of Ruri's mouth lifted slightly. She knew exactly what she was doing.
"Why not kill everyone in the Akatsuki, then go kill Zetsu and become the big bad yourself?" another clone said. Ruri's original opened her eyes and looked at the clone, drawing a deep breath.
She knew those words were a little extreme, but they were basically teasing her for wasting such incredible power instead of doing something with it. After all, this was Six Paths Sasuke at her peak.
"Original, you..." All the Ruri clones watched her, as if waiting for an answer.
Ruri's original fell silent for a moment, her brows knitted as if weighing the pros and cons.
The Shadow Clones waited quietly around her. No one dared interrupt her thoughts.
At last, Ruri slowly spoke. "I'll recall you first. There are too many of you, and looking at you all is giving me a headache. Anyway, we need to make a big move."
Then she took a deep breath and began recalling the Shadow Clones one by one.
With each clone she recalled, her power grew stronger, but her brows furrowed even more.
"Original, are you really going to do this?" one clone asked. "There are still plenty of strong shinobi in the Ninja World, aren't there?"
"I know there are risks," Ruri's original replied. "Six Paths Sasuke's power is enough for the current Naruto storyline. We're only at the Night of the Uchiha Massacre. What are you worried about?"
The clones nodded in agreement.
They had their concerns, but they also understood that this was a critical moment, and a sound plan was what mattered most.
After recalling a large group of Shadow Clones, Ruri felt her power churning inside her, as if it might burst out at any moment. Two Shadow Clones remained.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, trying to calm her excitement.
But her consciousness drifted inward of its own accord, toward the familiar memories hidden deep within her—Six Paths Sasuke's memories.
At that moment, Ruri revisited Sasuke's memories in the depths of her consciousness.
She saw Sasuke's valor in battle, his deep friendship with Naruto and Sakura, and how he had defected from the village to seek greater power.
These memories surfaced in Ruri's mind like vivid scenes, making her feel as though she were right there amid those fierce battles.
"The Akatsuki doesn't have many members right now, and Hidan hasn't joined yet. We could make some plans in Yugakure."
Ruri's eyes were half closed as she spoke in a low, calculating voice.
She knew all too well that the Akatsuki was nowhere near strong enough to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Such an ambitious goal required immense power, and the Akatsuki still had huge gaps to fill, both in numbers and strength.
Worse still, the organization had recently suffered another major blow at her hands, making an already difficult situation even harder.
Ruri knew the Akatsuki needed more members if they were to achieve their goal.
That wouldn't be easy. Every new member had to pass careful screening and testing.
They had to ensure that any new recruit had enough strength and loyalty before bringing them into the organization.
But their situation no longer allowed them to hesitate for long.
The Eye of the Moon Plan was already pressing, and they had to strengthen the organization as quickly as possible to handle the challenges that might lie ahead.
Ruri began considering how to attract more members to the Akatsuki.
She knew they would need to demonstrate enough strength and charisma to draw in talented people with great ambitions.
Infiltrating the Akatsuki with her Shadow Clones would undoubtedly be an extremely challenging and dangerous task.
But Six Paths Sasuke feared nothing.
First, Ruri needed to choose the right time and place for her Shadow Clones to approach the Akatsuki.
She needed a thorough understanding of the organization's movements and arrangements to find the best opening.
She also had to figure out how to conceal their identities and whereabouts, so they wouldn't be discovered on the way in.
Once a Shadow Clone managed to approach the Akatsuki, Ruri would have to find a way to earn its trust and then work her way deeper into the organization.
That might take a great deal of time and effort. She would have to learn about and imitate the Akatsuki members' behavior and habits, pick up their language and culture, and find opportunities to establish connections with them.
Along the way, Ruri's Shadow Clones might face all kinds of difficulties and challenges.
They might even be recruited by the Akatsuki members—or perhaps they were only looking for a bit of fun.
"Original, we don't know much about the situation in Yugakure. Isn't it a bit risky to go there and make plans so recklessly?" one clone asked worriedly.
She knew Yugakure was rich in natural resources. It was a village that had forgotten war, and there was also the spread of a cult's beliefs. If they went there without preparation, wouldn't they be discovered...?
Ruri slowly opened her eyes, a glint flashing in them. "It's precisely because we don't know much about Yugakure that we need to make plans there. Only by learning about it and infiltrating it can we find more opportunities and openings."
"The original is right. We can't keep waiting passively for opportunities. We have to take the initiative if we want to seize the advantage," another clone agreed.
"You two need to change your appearances. You can't keep looking like Six Paths Sasuke," Ruri said sternly to the two Shadow Clones before her, her brows furrowed. "We just beat those people half to death. If you try to join the Akatsuki looking like this, they'll recognize you for sure. Then our plan will be exposed, and we could bring even bigger trouble down on ourselves."
She paused, then continued, "That would scare them to death. We have to be cautious. You need to change your appearances so no one can tell you're Six Paths Sasuke's Shadow Clones. That's the only way we might successfully infiltrate the Akatsuki and carry out our plans."
The two Shadow Clones glanced at each other, both seeing the gravity in the other's eyes.
They understood Ruri's worries and knew how important and difficult their mission was. One clone pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly. "You're right, original. We need to change our appearance and aura so we won't be recognized. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ruri smiled faintly, a glint in her eyes. "I've already prepared something for you. You'll use a special jutsu to change your appearance and aura, becoming two entirely new shinobi. Then you can approach the Akatsuki under your new identities and look for a chance to join."
The two Shadow Clones relaxed when they heard that. They knew that with Ruri's help and planning, their chances of success would rise considerably. They were also curious and excited about their new identities.
"Ke ke ke ke, you're going to love your new looks," Ruri suddenly thought, her laughter echoing through the still air with an eerie edge.
A sly smile appeared on her face, and her eyes gleamed as if a scheme were taking shape in her mind.
Ever since arriving in this world, Ruri had to be meticulous and good at making plans.
She could always find the solution most advantageous to herself in a complicated situation, then act on it without hesitation. Now, a bold and dangerous plan was taking shape in her mind.
"Ke ke ke ke." Ruri laughed again. Her figure flickered in the darkness, giving her a mysterious and eerie air.
She knew her plan was risky, but if it worked, it would bring enormous rewards. And she was the kind of person willing to take risks to maximize her gains.
Ruri began working out her plan, brow furrowed as if a grand drama were playing out in her mind. After a while, her eyes lit up as if she'd come up with a brilliant idea, and a pleased smile tugged at her lips.
"Hey, listen up," she said to one of the Shadow Clones. "I want you to transform into Rin, the girl who died in the original story. Yes, the poor little girl everyone felt sorry for. As for your name, keep it simple and include 'Rin.' What do you think? Does this job suit you?"
The Shadow Clone looked both amused and exasperated. "Original, aren't you asking me to put on a tragic love story? I'm just a clone. Where am I supposed to get acting skills?"
"Cut the chatter!" Ruri glared at her. "You're my right-hand man. Can't you handle this little thing? Besides, haven't you always wanted to cross-dress? Now you get to be the star. Give it your best!"
The Shadow Clone sighed helplessly. "All right. For our bright future, I'll sacrifice my looks. But, original, are you sure this will work? What if they see through me?"
"Besides, aren't you cross-dressing too, original?"
"Don't worry." Ruri patted her on the shoulder. "Has anything I've planned as Uchiha Ruri ever gone wrong? I'll help you merge with some of Rin's memories so you'll seem more convincing. Of course, it might hurt a little. Changing someone's memories isn't easy. But what's a small sacrifice compared to our great cause?"
After hearing that, the Shadow Clone still wasn't entirely sure, but she nodded. "All right, I trust you. I'll go get ready."
Ruri watched the Shadow Clone leave and nodded with satisfaction. She knew the plan was risky, but as long as they worked well together, they would succeed.
She browsed the System Store, filled with anticipation and curiosity. The store held countless treasures. As long as she had enough points, she could exchange them for all kinds of powerful items and abilities.
What she needed now was information and items related to "Rin" from Naruto.
She entered the keyword "Rin" in the search bar and pressed the search button. Before long, all sorts of items and information related to Rin appeared on the screen, making her eyes light up.
She saw Rin's shinobi equipment, her ninjutsu manuals, and even fragments of her memories and Shadow Clones.
"The artificial idiot's consciousness automatically left. All it left behind was that endless ding-ding-ding electronic sound."
Ruri furrowed her brows slightly and muttered in annoyance. She had been immersed in the sea of information about Rin's secrets, and the sudden electronic sound had interrupted her train of thought.
Still, she didn't pay it much mind. It was part of the system, even if it could be irritating at times.
"There sure are plenty of items and resources." Ruri looked over the various information and items related to Rin, and her mood lifted.
These items and resources would undoubtedly help her plan immensely, making her even more confident about stirring things up.
Just then, a Shadow Clone suddenly cut in and asked excitedly, "Original, can I use the system?"
Ruri froze. She suddenly realized that she had never actually tested this. Could a clone use the system? She had never considered the question, so she didn't have a clear answer.
Seeing the Shadow Clone's hopeful expression, Ruri couldn't help hesitating.
She knew the question mattered a great deal to the Shadow Clone. If it could use the system, its strength and abilities would improve enormously.
But she also knew the question wasn't so easy to answer.
"Why don't you try calling for it?" Ruri thought for a moment, then decided to let the Shadow Clone give it a try.
After all, only practice could reveal the truth. Maybe the Shadow Clone really could use the system.
The Shadow Clone's spirits immediately lifted at Ruri's suggestion. It took a deep breath, closed its eyes, and tried to call the system.
Its heart was full of anticipation and nerves, as if it were facing an important test.
Ruri stood quietly to one side, watching the Shadow Clone. She wanted to know whether it could successfully call up the system. If it could, their plan would be much smoother and more secure.
"I can call it!" the Shadow Clone suddenly shouted, breaking the silence.
Its face was brimming with excitement, as if it had discovered a whole new world. Ruri was both delighted and surprised to hear the news.
She hadn't expected the Shadow Clone to actually be able to use the system. It was an unexpected bonus.
Ruri turned to the other Shadow Clone and asked expectantly, curious to find out, "Can you use it too?"
That Shadow Clone nodded, wearing the same excited expression.
Ruri was filled with joy and satisfaction. She knew her plan had taken another big step forward.
Both Shadow Clones could use the system. That meant they would have even greater strength and abilities, allowing them to carry out their missions and achieve their goals more effectively.
"Great, great! This makes things even more fun." Uchiha Ruri could already see the potential uses of the Shadow Clone Technique, and she couldn't help exclaiming in delight.
If every Shadow Clone could use the system, their power would grow exponentially. They would have a much easier time, whether on missions or facing enemies.
Ruri's eyes gleamed with excitement. She couldn't wait to try out this new idea.
So she immediately got to work, preparing to create a System Chat Group that all her Shadow Clones could join.
"I'll make a System Chat Group and have you all join. We'll call it 'Akatsuki Internal Member Chatroom.'"
As she spoke, Ruri clicked the corresponding option on the system interface. A brand-new chat group was quickly created.
Ruri sent the group invitation link to all her Shadow Clones so they could join easily.
Ruri spent fifty points to buy Rin's memory fragments, then immediately sent the item to this Shadow Clone.
Ruri walked up to the Shadow Clone, determination shining in her eyes. She looked deeply at the clone, which was identical to her, as if she saw endless possibilities and hope. She reached out, patted the Shadow Clone on the shoulder, and said solemnly:
"Good buddy, the grand scheme behind the scenes is counting on you! You're the only one who can handle this important mission. Help our organization flourish, and make sure every Uchiha Ruri has a bright future!"
Ruri's words brimmed with trust and expectation, as if she had entrusted the organization's entire future to this Shadow Clone.
She knew this Shadow Clone wasn't just an ordinary duplicate. It was a crucial part of her plan.
Only by helping the Shadow Clone reach its full potential could their organization continue to grow and thrive.
Hearing Ruri's words, the Shadow Clone felt a powerful sense of responsibility and purpose well up inside her.
"Obito-bro, for you, I'll become a werewolf!" the Shadow Clone shouted without hesitation, striking a werewolf pose as she accepted Rin's memory fragments.
Watching the Shadow Clone's ridiculous antics, Ruri nearly burst out laughing.
She shook her head helplessly.
But she knew the Shadow Clone was only trying to lighten the mood and help everyone relax in the face of the unknown challenges ahead.
Rin's memory fragments gradually merged with the Shadow Clone's body, and her expression grew strange. One moment she frowned in thought; the next, she looked enlightened. Ruri watched quietly from the side.
Finally, the Shadow Clone opened her eyes and said smugly, "Obito-bro, I've successfully absorbed Rin's memory fragments! Now I'm the upgraded version of Uchiha Ruri!"
Looking at her smug expression, Ruri couldn't help teasing her. "Oh? The upgraded version? Are you going to change your name to 'Uchiha Ruri Plus'?"
The Shadow Clone froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Ha ha, no way! I'm a one-of-a-kind Uchiha Ruri Shadow Clone! Though 'Uchiha Ruri Plus' is a pretty funny name. I might consider it!"
"How does it feel?" Ruri asked curiously, her eyes shining with anticipation.
The Shadow Clone had just absorbed Rin's memory fragments, and Ruri couldn't wait to hear how it had gone.
The Shadow Clone smiled faintly instead of answering outright, choosing to show her the changes.
She gently closed her eyes, and a strange power began to swirl around her. Ruri was startled; she could clearly sense the strength and depth of this power.
A moment later, the Shadow Clone slowly opened her eyes. Her appearance had completely changed.
The image of Six Paths Sasuke was gone. In its place was Nohara Rin's gentle, lovely face, and a much fuller chest.
Ruri's eyes widened. She stared at the Shadow Clone in disbelief, as if she were looking at an entirely new person.
"Th-this is Nohara Rin?" Ruri stammered, shocked and confused.
The Shadow Clone nodded and smiled. "That's right. This is Nohara Rin's appearance. By absorbing her memory fragments, I gained not only her knowledge and experience, but also the ability to imitate her appearance and abilities to some extent."
Ruri sucked in a sharp breath. This clone was really going all out.
"I'm 1.7 meters tall, and my measurements look good. But to make it easier to join the Akatsuki, I'll go straight down to 1.6 meters."
The Shadow Clone spoke casually, as though changing her height were a trivial matter.
As she spoke, her body gave a slight wobble, and her height instantly shrank, leaving her as a petite girl who stood 1.65 meters tall.
Looking at the girl before her, Ruri couldn't help feeling dazzled.
She had long, glossy black hair that fell over her shoulders like a waterfall. The slightly wavy strands glimmered enticingly in the sunlight.
Her eyes were clear and bright, like pools of autumn water, revealing a gentle yet resolute air.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, its features soft and elegant, her skin fair and smooth.
Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, with graceful curves.
Though she stood only 1.65 meters tall, she radiated a unique charm that made it impossible to look away.
Her breasts were full and perky, her waist slender and supple, her hips rounded and shapely, and her legs long and straight. Every detail radiated feminine sensuality and charm.
"Your name will be Gojo Rin." Liuli smiled, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes.
The Shadow Clone had turned out incredibly well. Her appearance was flawless, and even her aura was exactly like Nohara Rin's. Liuli knew Gojo Rin would become a trump card for their organization and play a vital role.
"I'll make another clone later and give you an older brother. As far as your identities go, you'll be real siblings." Liuli continued, already holding a perfect plan in her mind.
She knew that to blend into Akatsuki more easily, they needed a suitable identity and background. Gojo Rin and her older brother would make the perfect cover.
When Gojo Rin heard Liuli's words, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She understood her mission and responsibilities, and she knew what challenges and hardships lay ahead.
"Your little brother's still there, right?" Liuli blinked curiously, her gaze roaming over Gojo Rin before settling on some unknown spot. A strange smile crept across her face.
Gojo Rin was speechless. She rolled her eyes and spread her hands, saying irritably, "He's gone. I've already become Rin, original."
As she spoke, she even thrust out her chest, as if to prove who she was.
Liuli wore an awkward smile.
She cleared her throat a few times, trying to cover up her lapse. But her gaze couldn't help drifting back to Gojo Rin's chest, and the corner of her mouth curled into a knowing smile.
Gojo Rin noticed Liuli's gaze and immediately grew annoyed. She glared at Liuli, planted her hands on her hips, and put on a fierce expression. "Hey! Where are you looking? Keep it up and I won't go easy on you!"
Gojo Rin's expression made Liuli burst into laughter. She quickly waved her hands and explained, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I was just thinking that even though your little brother's gone, we've got an even more impressive little sister now. Isn't that great?"
Gojo Rin couldn't help laughing too. She knew Liuli was joking, but she also understood what she meant. She nodded gently, a warm smile on her face. "You're right, original."
"That gentle tone just outdid the original!" Liuli praised.
"Next, it's your turn!" Liuli turned toward another Shadow Clone, a mysterious smile curling her lips. She pointed at the clone, her voice full of anticipation and excitement. "I want you to become a little bigger, a little more interesting, and a little more pleasurable."
The Shadow Clone was at a loss for words. He stared at Liuli's expectant expression, feeling baffled and helpless.
A little bigger? A little more interesting? More pleasurable? What was that supposed to mean? He wasn't a Transformer. How could he just grow or shrink whenever he wanted, let alone become more interesting and pleasurable?
"Uh... original, are you sure you said that right?" the Shadow Clone asked tentatively. "I'm your clone, not a Transformer or a magician. How am I supposed to do any of that?"
"Hahaha!" Liuli burst out laughing. She patted the clone on the shoulder, brimming with confidence. "Don't worry. I believe you can do it. You're my Shadow Clone, after all. You have the same abilities and intelligence as I do. As long as you're willing to try, you'll find a way to become bigger, more interesting, and more pleasurable."
The Shadow Clone looked at Liuli's trusting expression and sighed helplessly. What could he do? He was a Shadow Clone, after all.
"I want you to become Uchiha Hanabi and join Akatsuki." Liuli's voice rang through the air, every word underscoring her resolve and the importance of the plan.
Her gaze was sharp, as if she could already see Akatsuki growing stronger with Hanabi as one of its members.
Liuli paused to give the Shadow Clone a moment to absorb the weight of the task. Then she continued, laying out the details. "Your identity will be that of an orphan whom the Gojo siblings happened to save and raise. That way, you'll have a deep bond with Gojo Rin and her older brother, and a believable background for your activities within Akatsuki."
She paused, as if imagining how real the scenario would seem, then continued. "As for your appearance, base it on Honkai Star Rail. Its distinctive style and aura are exactly what I want you to show in Akatsuki. And remember, the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan is our secret weapon. It's also connected to the fact that I've already revealed myself as a Six Paths Level powerhouse. If anyone found out, it would be disastrous. Don't reveal it unless absolutely necessary. The Mangekyō Sharingan, on the other hand, can be the power you show openly, so people can see how strong you are."
Liuli's words brimmed with trust and expectation. She knew the Shadow Clone had not only her abilities, but also her intelligence and determination.
She was sure the clone could play Uchiha Hanabi perfectly and contribute to Akatsuki's future.
The Shadow Clone listened to Liuli's instructions, excitement rising in his heart. He nodded.
"I'll search and see if there's any relevant information." As she spoke, Liuli quickly opened the device in her hands and began typing in the keywords "Honkai Star Rail Hanabi."
She knew it was crucial to understand the character's background and details before the Shadow Clone took on the role.
She also wanted to make sure the clone could blend into Akatsuki perfectly and wouldn't expose herself through any oversight.
As she searched, page after page of information about "Honkai Star Rail Hanabi" appeared on the screen.
Liuli examined each file carefully, missing no details.
She read through Hanabi's backstory, character profile, abilities, and relationships with other characters, trying to build a complete picture of her in her mind.
However, she was somewhat disappointed to find that all the information seemed to come from a game world called Honkai, with no direct connection to the real world she lived in. It was a story from her past life, after all.
She realized that she couldn't find any physical props or equipment belonging to Hanabi in the real world. This would make the task more difficult and complicated.
Still, Liuli wasn't discouraged. Even without physical props, she could help the Shadow Clone play the role in other ways.
So she decided to use her points to buy information about Hanabi from the virtual shop.
Liuli carefully browsed the virtual shop and eventually spent 10 points on Hanabi's detailed profile and character art.
The information included Hanabi's personality, habits, likes and dislikes, as well as her experiences growing up and the major events she had gone through in the game world.
Although the information couldn't be turned into physical props, it could serve as memories and help the Shadow Clone understand and play Hanabi more convincingly.
To make sure the Shadow Clone could fully absorb everything, Liuli spent another 200 points to turn the information and character art into a memory card.
The card could be inserted directly into the Shadow Clone's brain, allowing her to absorb and master everything about Hanabi in a short time.
As soon as the Shadow Clone received the memory card Liuli sent over, he used it.
Gojo Rin and Liuli stood nearby, quietly watching Uchiha Hanabi change.
Their eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity, as if they wanted to see into the heart of the new character about to be born.
As time passed, Uchiha Hanabi's aura gradually settled, and a completely new power began to flow through her.
Her eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of bright, deep-set eyes. They seemed to hold boundless wisdom and courage.
"Ehehe, the fusion worked!" Hanabi said mischievously, breaking the silence.
There was a hint of pride and excitement in her voice, as if she was very pleased to have successfully fused with her new power.
Gojo Rin and Liuli both smiled with delight when they heard her.
They knew Uchiha Hanabi had successfully fused with the character profile of Honkai Star Rail Hanabi and become an entirely new character.
And this character would bring even greater strength and versatility to the Akatsuki they belonged to.
"That's wonderful, Hanabi!" Gojo Rin stepped forward and gave Uchiha Hanabi a warm hug. "You did great. I know you'll become a powerful force in Akatsuki."
Liuli looked at the two clones before her, Uchiha Hanabi and Gojo Rin. Both had become young women: one lively and mischievous, the other gentle and sweet. She rubbed her chin, a playful smile appearing on her face.
"Heh, did I take this a little too far?" Liuli muttered to herself. "But turning my clones into girls seems pretty fun! I'm a cross-dressing enthusiast myself, after all. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense."
"Hehehe~ What are you thinking about, original?" Uchiha Hanabi blinked her big eyes and sidled up to her mischievously. "You're not having some wild fantasies about us poor girls, are you?"
Uchiha Liuli was briefly at a loss for words. She gazed at the petite Hanabi, a complicated feeling rising in her heart. The clone she had once created had now grown into a lively, adorable, and cheeky girl. It left her marveling at the power of memory fragments.
Hanabi's bright eyes blinked like two sparkling stars, revealing her cleverness and quick wit.
Her small nose tipped up slightly, giving her a playful, adorable look. Her rosy lips kept parting in radiant smiles, making people want to draw close and dote on her.
At that moment, Hanabi smiled at Uchiha Liuli as if to say, "Well? Am I even more charming now?"
There was a hint of pride and provocation in her smile, as if she were showing Liuli how much she had grown and changed.
Uchiha Liuli gazed at Hanabi. Her youthful face lit up with a brilliant smile.
That smile seemed to have a kind of magic, leaving her feeling helpless.
She sighed deeply, worry creeping into her voice. "Hanabi, you're a fully grown Shadow Clone now. You should learn to bear some of the pain that boys can't experience on their own."
Hanabi paid no attention to Liuli's words. She remained as carefree as ever, shrugging with a playful smile. "I don't mind. I like having a girl's body more! I'm not planning to turn back into a boy anyway. Besides, you won't dismiss me, will you?"
Hanabi's answer left Liuli not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head helplessly. Now wasn't the time to keep chatting with Hanabi; she had more important things to do.
"Alright, next up is Gojo Satoru!" Liuli took a deep breath and focused, preparing to take the next step.
She knew summoning a Shadow Clone of Gojo Satoru wouldn't be easy. It would require a great deal of Six Paths Power. But to carry out her plan, she had to do it.
"Shadow Clone Technique!" Liuli shouted. The immense Six Paths Power within her began to surge.
Her figure flickered, and then an identical figure appeared beside her.
This new Shadow Clone, Gojo Satoru, had the same appearance and abilities as Liuli.
Liuli looked at Gojo Satoru and nodded in satisfaction.
However, just as Liuli was about to speak with Gojo Satoru, a wave of weakness suddenly swept over her. She instinctively touched her right eye and realized that the tomoe in her Six-Tomoe Rinnegan had vanished.
"Damn, I'm a little drained. The tomoe are gone." Liuli cursed inwardly, a bitter smile appearing on her face.
She knew it was because she had just spent a great deal of Six Paths Power summoning Gojo Satoru's Shadow Clone, leaving her body weak and exhausted.
Before you continue
