Bloodline Fusion and an Opportunity for Breakthrough

After reaching an agreement with Ōnoki, Shiraha did not immediately return to the Uzumaki Clan, but instead entered the Demon Country once again.

When he sent Shion back to the Demon Country, he had promised her that he would stay with her for a while, so he would not break his promise.

On the other side, after killing the three envoys from Kumogakure, Kodama delivered the unconscious Hizashi Hyuga to Shiraha.

Basically, all Cursed Seal and Sealing Jutsu involve Yin Release energy and are inseparable from Mental Power. Only a very few special Forbidden Technique, such as the ' Reaper Death Seal,' involve the power of gods.

Of course, in Shiraha's view, the so-called gods are just powerful beings or energy bodies.

According to the records of the Wizarding World, Wizard once invaded a powerful civilization called the Civilization of the Gods.

In that civilization, the weakest of those who could be called gods were comparable to a level six "Sunlight Wizard".

Clearly, the gods in the Naruto World are not on the same level as the so-called gods in Civilization of the Gods.

However, given Shiraha's current strength, he doesn't want any conflict or connection with the gods of this world. Even if he wanted to study them, now is not the time.

The Caged Bird Seal is incredibly ingenious. In Shiraha's opinion, this Cursed Seal is not something an ordinary person could develop. The difficulty of breaking it is beyond Shiraha's imagination. He feels that the ninja who created the Caged Bird Curse Seal was either a master of Sealing Jutsu or a ninja whose strength was beyond the norm. Only someone with such extraordinary strength could easily develop a seal that is difficult for later generations to break.

Even with Shiraha's many years of research, and with the help of Kushina, who is more skilled in Sealing Jutsu, he still cannot directly break the Caged Bird Curse Seal. However, he can use other seals to isolate the Yin Release power within the Caged Bird Curse Seal, thereby blocking the control of the Hyuga Main Family ninja.

Simply put, even after being isolated and sealed by the Shiraha, the Caged Bird Curse Seal still exists. However, the Hyuga Main Family ninjas cannot activate this Cursed Seal to kill the Branch Family ninjas. At the same time, they will mistakenly believe that the Branch Family ninjas are dead because they cannot sense the Chakra in the Cursed Seal.

Of course, this does not mean that the Caged Bird Curse Seal disappears. When Branch Family ninja dies, the Caged Bird Curse Seal will still completely destroy the Branch Family ninja's brain and eyeballs. This will prevent the enemy from reading information from their brains or obtaining the Byakugan, even if they obtain the body of the Hyuga Branch Family ninja.

However, the suppression of the Byakugan talent by the Caged Bird Seal still exists. Those who are branded with the Caged Bird Seal Branch Family will have their Byakugan purity and observation distance limited. No matter how strong their talent is, it will be severely restricted.

Shiraha already has several plans for breaking the Caged Bird Curse Seal, but human trials are needed to increase the chances of success.

Hizashi Hyuga was also a member of the Konoha forces that came to support the Uzumaki Clan. Shiraha had some goodwill towards him, so he helped him out this time.

Of course, his main goal was to undermine the Hyuga clan and weaken Konoha's strength.

Shiraha didn't care whether the system of the Branch Family and Main Family was correct, but he knew that where there is oppression, there will be resistance. He simply gave the Hyuga Branch Family ninjas a key, and whether they wanted to leave the cage was up to them.

Clearly, Hizashi Hyuga die than be bound by the Caged Bird Curse Seal, and perhaps other ninjas from the Hyuga Branch Family were the same.

At the very least, the Hideto and Hizashi Hyuga are definitely the same.

After delivering Hizashi Hyuga to the Demon Country, Kodama immediately returned to the Akatsuki headquarters in the Land of Rain. After all, he was now a member of the Akatsuki and was also suspected by Obito and Zetsu. Although he could effectively avoid being monitored by using his sensory abilities and the Mayfly Technique, he still needed to be careful.

The power of the Rinnegan and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path has always been something that Shiraha greatly fears.

Of course, if they could be friends, Shiraha didn't want to be enemies with the Akatsuki. Monitoring Obito, Zetsu, and the Akatsuki's movements was essential.

The Demon Country.

The central palace, which had already become magnificent due to its expansion, has been further expanded on the basis of the original palace thanks to the large amount of high-quality stone that Ōnoki sent from the Earth Country. The newly built palaces are all constructed of white boulders and look very luxurious.

The newly built palace is Shiraha's sleeping quarters, since his relationship with the Priestess of the Demon Country is now 'publicly acknowledged'.

Of course, for Shiraha, the most important thing was actually the 'biological laboratory' newly built in the underground of the palace.

Although Shiraha carries many precious experimental instruments with him, some oversized experimental equipment cannot be stored in the Storage Scroll, especially since some experiments are conducted continuously over a long period of time and it is impossible to change locations at will.

Therefore, building biological laboratories in some key areas was an idea that Shiraha had long ago.

The Demon Country is the headquarters of the ' Serpent Spirit ' Group, which has multiple laboratories dedicated to developing drugs, but it has not met Shiraha's requirements. This time, because he received 500 million in funding and 1 billion worth of supplies from Ōnoki, Shiraha decided to establish a biological laboratory in the Demon Country as well.

Hizashi Hyuga is currently staying in the biological laboratory below.

Shiraha will be staying in the Demon Country for a while, but his experiments will not stop. He always needs to find something to do, and the more complete equipment will also allow the younger generation to grow faster.

The Uzumaki Clan possessed a vast array of experimental equipment, coupled with the cutting-edge technology in his mind that surpassed the Shinobi World. This allowed Nonō to master a large amount of Cell Technology in a short period of time after joining the Uzumaki Clan —all achieved through massive financial investment.

At that moment, Shiraha, who was examining the Cursed Seal seal in Hizashi Hyuga's brain in the laboratory, suddenly received information from Orochimaru.

Shiraha walked out of the laboratory and returned to the palace on the ground. He opened the Communication Scroll.

Bang!

A puff of white smoke dissipated, revealing a small, palm-sized, yellowish-brown snake that spat out a piece of paper about the thickness of a thumb.

Shiraha opened it and his eyes lit up immediately. "It seems that Hiruko is quite sensible."

A month has passed since Shion was brought back last time. Shiraha has contacted Orochimaru, saying that he hopes to get a reply if he sees Hiruko.

Back then, Shiraha invested in Hiruko's "Chimera Technique" and shared the Cell Experiment data he had with Hiruko, agreeing that if Hiruko any breakthroughs in the Chimera Technique in the future, he would have to give back to him.

In the blink of an eye, more than five years have passed.

If Hiruko deliberately avoids Shiraha, it will be quite difficult for Shiraha to find him in a short time.

But now that Hiruko the initiative to contact him, it seems that he needs Shiraha's help.

After explaining things to Shion, Shiraha headed towards Land of Waterfalls Water Mist City and arrived at the same luxury hotel from last time.

At this time, Orochimaru had already left, but Shiraha's purpose in coming here this time was not Orochimaru, but the secret technique that Hiruko had completed developing.

When Shiraha arrived at the luxurious private room on the top floor, led by the waiter, the wooden door of the room was opened, and a short boy dressed in white and wearing a mask came out.

"Lord Shiraha, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Hiruko respectfully.

Seeing Hiruko's drastically changed Hiruko, Shiraha remained calm.

Hiruko was originally a tall young man who was 1.8 meters tall, but now he looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. Most importantly, his Chakra fluctuations are very mixed and his Energy Field is unstable.

It seems that the Chimera Secret Technique he developed has significant problems.

"Please sit down." Hiruko to the middle of the room and waited for Shiraha to take his seat first.

The waiter standing nearby was taken aback. He had never seen his boss act like this before. Noticing Hiruko's gaze, he quickly withdrew.

"I sensed four different forces within your body. It seems there's a problem with your body modification, causing these different forces to clash, right?"

Shiraha didn't keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the point.

Hiruko changed, his pupils contracted, and he removed his mask, revealing a fair and youthful face.

"Your Excellency Shiraha has a truly discerning eye, but I am experiencing a serious health problem."

When Hiruko his white outer garment, revealing his upper body, the state of his body and face was quite different.

His upper body was covered in wrinkled skin, like that of an elderly person. In particular, beneath his rough skin were bulging blood vessels, densely distributed like a spider web across his entire upper body.

Not only that, but even more bizarrely, Hiruko's two arms were covered with long, black hair that looked hard and didn't seem like hair that a human could grow.

"The original concept of the Chimera Technique was a fusion Ninjutsu, capable of fusing a ninja or Summoning Beast with one's own body, and even fusing Kekkei Genkai," Hiruko explained. "After years of research, I have finally succeeded. I fused three Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Release, Dark Release, and Ice Style, and at the same time, I fused with a Summoning Beast that possesses Wind Chakra."

However, not long ago, my body developed a serious problem. Different Kekkei Genkai and the Summoning Beast I fused with began to conflict with each other, and my Chakra was also affected.

My original plan was to fuse two Kekkei Genkai, and then fuse five Kekkei Genkai at the same time, which would definitely solve the problem.

However, the other two Kekkei Genkai are extremely rare, requiring either the awakened Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai or the Sharingan Kekkei Genkai.

"Shikotsumyaku?" Shiraha said, "It seems you learned this information from Orochimaru. The only Shikotsumyaku awakener right now is my subordinate Kimimaro."

"Yes, I still have a chance to obtain the Sharingan, but the Shikotsumyaku can only be obtained from Kimimaro." Hiruko his clothes and looked at Shiraha, saying, "I don't want to be your enemy, so I hope to obtain the Shikotsumyaku from you through a transaction."

"I understand." Shiraha nodded. "If your secret technique only requires some blood and cells, I can agree to it. But if it requires completely consuming an entire person, as you said before, then I'm sorry I can't agree to it."

"If you are willing to hand Kimimaro over to me, I am willing to completely teach you the Chimera Technique. By fusing the five complementary Kekkei Genkai, you can obtain perfect Immortal Body. You won't lose out in this deal."

Hiruko slightly. To obtain Kekkei Genkai, directly devouring the owner of the Kekkei Genkai would naturally be the best option. Transplanting only a portion of the bloodline would likely result in insufficient power of the Kekkei Genkai.

"If you could truly obtain perfect Immortal Body, you wouldn't have ended up like this." Shiraha shook his head in refusal, saying firmly, "Besides, I would never make such a life-threatening deal with my subordinates."

Seeing Shiraha's resolute attitude, Hiruko sighed inwardly, thinking that it was just as Orochimaru had said.

However, he couldn't just take it by force, since he really couldn't afford to offend Shiraha. Just a month ago, Shiraha single-handedly stormed into Iwagakure, forcing the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, to bow his head. Even if it was a scheme, Hiruko wouldn't dare to use it on Shiraha.

Hiruko had no other choice but to meet with Shiraha this time; otherwise, he would not have wanted to meet someone whose strength completely overwhelmed him and who could take his life at any moment.

"Then let's exchange blood."

Hiruko pondered for a moment.

"I want the complete Chimera Technique," Shiraha said in a deep voice. Seeing that Hiruko's expression was somewhat sullen, he added, "Besides Kimimaro's blood, I can also give you the blood of the Uchiha Clan who has already awakened his Sharingan."

"You have Sharingan?!" Hiruko surprise. Considering that Shiraha was once a ninja of Konoha and had experienced the Ninja World War, it was quite normal for him to have Sharingan in stock. If he could obtain Sharingan, this deal would be very profitable.

"Don't even think about the Sharingan, I don't have it for now." Shiraha shook his head.

Wood Spirit Avatar Uchiha Issei had already evolved to the Three-Tomoe, and after Shiraha's advancement, as the materialization of his Mental Power deepened, he also awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Recently, he felt that his Mental Power had reached a bottleneck, and he was only one step away from completing the Mental Power Crystallization. The breakthrough was expected to happen in the near future.

"However, I can promise you that I will first give you the blood of the Uchiha Clan who has awakened the Sharingan, and then give you a pair of Sharingan within three years." Shiraha added that as long as the Wood Spirit Avatar Uchiha Issei can become the clan leader, he can use the Sharingan that the Uchiha Clan has preserved, so giving Hiruko a pair later is not a problem at all.

Upon Hiruko fell into deep thought and finally gave his condition, "I want a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan!"

Shiraha said, "Okay, deal!"

Hiruko that Shiraha was so decisive, Hiruko hesitated for a moment, then took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Shiraha with great care. "This is the Chimera Technique."

Shiraha took the scroll, examined it, and then calmly put it away.

The contents of the Chimera Technique seem to be correct, but whether it is truly complete is something only Hiruko herself knows for now.

Seeing that Shiraha did not raise any objections, Hiruko immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wish us a pleasant cooperation. The blood from the Shikotsumyaku will be delivered as soon as possible."

Shiraha extended his hand.

Hiruko aback, then shook hands with Shiraha.

"Now that the transaction is complete, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Shiraha stood up with a smile.

Hiruko, but instead got up to see him off.

After Shiraha left, Hiruko a sigh of relief. Of course, the Chimera Technique he gave Shiraha was not complete. Some key details were hidden by him. After all, according to the plan, if he really fused the five compatible Kekkei Genkai, he would obtain true Immortal Body.

Given Shiraha's research capabilities and the power he wields, he may eventually surpass others and be the first to fuse the five Kekkei Genkai. This is what Hiruko most; if two people possess the perfect Immortal Body, then it is no longer perfect.

Of course, Hiruko knew that Shiraha was not so easy to fool, so apart from the details, everything else was perfect and there was no tampering. If Shiraha were to fuse his Kekkei Genkai and Summoning Beast, he would definitely succeed, but he would also encounter the same problems as him.

Unfortunately, Hiruko didn't know that Shiraha possessed the "Book of the Ancient Warlock." On the surface, he was a top-tier Kage Level powerhouse, but his true profession was "Spirit Summoning Warlock." Shiraha was the real expert when it came to bloodline fusion.

"Hiruko is indeed a talented person. The Chimera Technique is a genius idea."

On the way back, Shiraha had already begun to think about the possibilities of combining the Chimera Technique with the secret arts of sorcerers.

If the avatar cultivates the Chimera Technique, transplants more Kekkei Genkai and bloodlines, and then fuses the bloodlines in the two avatars using the secret method of the "Spirit Summoning Warlock," I wonder if it's possible to fuse a third or fourth bloodline, allowing Shiraha's existing Fourth-Level bloodline source to break through again.
