The Road

The Demon Country.

In the Underground Bio Lab of the Central Palace, Shiraha stood in front of a huge Culture Dish. Lying in the light green nutrient solution in the Culture Dish was a snow-white humanoid creature. This was a clone that Shiraha had cultured using White Zetsu's body tissue, First Hokage Cells, and his own cells.

However, Cloning Technology is not yet mature, and this clone does not have the ability to move. Unless Shiraha uses the ' Spirit Transformation Jutsu ' to separate a part of his soul and enter the clone to control its actions, this clone can only be used as experimental material.

Of course, for Shiraha at present, the Cloning Technology has reached a level that is already sufficient.

He already has two avatars, and the strength of "Kodama" has reached the first-class Kage Level level. Using Sage Mode, plus some Demonic items prepared by Shiraha, he can even First Shinobi World War against top Kage Level powerhouses.

As for "Uchiha Issei", he has already reached the strength of an ordinary Kage Level. If he can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, his strength will reach an even higher level.

Therefore, in terms of combat, Shiraha is not lacking in avatars.

At this moment, Shiraha held a laptop, looking at the computer connected to the Culture Dish, and continuously recording the data on it.

With his current Mental Power, he can basically memorize important data and intelligence. However, it is still necessary to record some important data. He will also need to pass on some things to close and trusted people in the future. Having detailed experimental procedures and data records will also help him teach better.

After recording some data, Shiraha used the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to separate a portion of his soul and enter the clone. He then used Chakra Paper to test the clone's Chakra attributes.

Laugh!

The Chakra Paper is split in two from the very center.

"A relatively rare wind attribute"

Shiraha wrote it down in his notebook, then flipped to the previous pages and compared the contents.

"Chakra nature transformations are divided into seven types: fire, wind, lightning, earth, water, yang, and yin. When two Chakra Nature Transformation are used simultaneously, a new ninjutsu is created, known as a ' Kekkei Genkai '. A very small number of ninjas can develop this new ninjutsu on their own. Once successful, this new ninjutsu will be recorded in the ninja's genes and passed on to their next generation through blood relations."

"A ninja's body has a certain organ that is different from ordinary people, and it has special abilities that belong to the Kekkei Genkai. The Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya Clan."

"The Dust Release of the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, is Kekkei Tōta, a fusion of the three Chakra natures of wind, fire, and earth. The creator of Dust Release was the Second Tsuchikage, and Ōnoki was his student, not a blood relative. He acquired Dust Release through learning; that is, both Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta can be learned later in life."

"The Chimera Technique can fuse up to five Kekkei Genkai. Excluding the Yin and Yang special attributes, Kekkei Genkai with all five attributes—earth, fire, water, wind, and lightning—may have higher compatibility."

"The Hyuga clan and Kaguya Clan are distant relatives. Whether the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku are complementary remains to be tested."

"Take myself as an example. I currently possess the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which is a Kekkei Genkai. Wood Release can be considered Kekkei Genkai, but it can also be considered a secret technique. The key is that ordinary Wood Release is a fusion of earth and water attributes, while truly powerful Wood Release is a fusion of earth, water, and yang attributes, and it requires a massive amount of Chakra to unleash the power of the First. Unless Kushina awakens Wood Release, neither Kodama nor I can unleash the true power of Wood Release."

Shiraha fell into deep thought, then used the "Eye of Truth" to check his Chakra and affinity attributes.

[Chakra Attributes: Water (Advanced), Earth (Advanced), Fire (Special), Yang (Special), Yin (Special)]

[Affinity Attributes: Fire (Superior), Shadow (Advanced), Plant (Superior), Negative Energy (Superior)]

He doesn't have wind and lightning attributes in his innate attributes. Of course, this doesn't prevent him from using Wind Style and Lightning Release, but he can't unleash the full power of some Rank A and S-Rank Wind Style and Lightning Release.

Of course, Shiraha's main fighting method now is not Ninjutsu, which he didn't care much about before.

However, after acquiring the ' Chimera Technique ' and conducting more research on the advancement secrets of the ' Spirit Summoning Warlock ', Shiraha's thoughts changed.

"Kodama" absorbed a large amount of White Zetsu body tissue and First Hokage Cells, and possesses the Wood Style Secret Technique, thus having the three attributes of Earth, Water, and Yang.

"Uchiha Issei" possesses the Sharingan and fire style, and has mastered fire style Chakra to an extremely high level.

Shiraha's Yin and Yang Chakra attributes have both reached the top level. Although he is still some distance away from mastering the super level, if he focuses on this aspect, it is only a matter of time.

Not long ago, Shiraha's Mental Power materialization entered the third stage of Crystalline State. With his current bloodline purity, physique, and Mental Power, as long as he completes the Mental Power Crystallization, he can start to advance to the second level "Spirit Summoning Warlock", and the success rate is extremely high.

The only problem now is that it takes time and effort, several years, for the Mental Power to grow and solidify, eventually Crystalline State.

This is not a problem at all for Shiraha, who has a lifespan of over a thousand years.

If the Wizard and sorcerers of the previous life knew that Shiraha could complete the Mental Power Crystallization and begin advancing to the second level before the age of thirty-five, given the high requirements for advancement, they would probably want to grab him, put him on the experimental table, and then pry open his brain to study him.

"Once the Mental Power Crystallization is complete, I can start working on the advancement. After that, my affinity attribute will definitely increase again, and my Chakra attribute will definitely increase due to the influence of bloodline power, making it even easier to reach the super level."

"Therefore, my main body's primary goal is to enhance Yin and Yang Release; ' Kodama ''s' primary goal is to enhance Earth and Water Chakra attributes; and ' Uchiha Issei's ' primary goal is to enhance Fire attribute. By fusing the clone's cells with them, we should be able to increase his Wind Chakra."

"Kekkei Genkai can enhance the power of Chakra attributes. Pakura's Scorch Release is a fusion of fire and wind attributes. By having Uchiha Issei use the Chimera Technique to fuse with Pakura's bloodline and develop Scorch Release, he could simultaneously improve his mastery of both fire and wind Chakra."

"White's Ice Style is composed of wind and water attributes, and can also be used to improve the mastery of Wind Chakra."

"Since Hiruko's body is on the verge of collapse Kekkei Genkai, I will only fuse two or three, and then combine them with the secret techniques of Spirit Summoning Warlock to fuse another bloodline."

Shiraha already had a clear blueprint for the future in his mind.

By fusing the First Hokage Cells, Eight-Tails Cells, Nine-Tails Cells, and White Snake Sage Cells, he successfully fused the bloodline of the "Divine Tree" and the bloodline of the "White Phosphorus Serpent," obtaining the Fourth-Level bloodline source, the "World Tree Companion Serpent."

He could have lowered his requirements, allowing both Wood Spirit Avatar to fuse with a bloodline source of around Third Level, and then fused the Third-Level Bloodline sources of "Kodama" and "Uchiha Issei" to see if he could fuse a "Fourth-Level" or "half- Fourth-Level" bloodline.

If it fails, it will only be a waste of resources and time for Shiraha, but if it succeeds, it will be a huge gain.

The most dangerous part of becoming a "Spirit Summoning Warlock" is first fusing two or more bloodlines, and then advancing to the First-Level Warlock.

This was the most crucial step. Through planning and repeated trials, Shiraha minimized the risks and ultimately succeeded in his promotion.

However, each time another bloodline is added for fusion, it must be close to the current bloodline level. If the level of the bloodline source is too different, it will not only fail to improve the original bloodline level, but will also reduce the purity of the bloodline.

Since Shiraha currently possesses the "World Tree Companion Serpent," a Fourth-Level bloodline source, any bloodline he fuses with must be at least "half- Fourth-Level," and ideally, it should be at the same level as his original bloodline source, which is Fourth-Level bloodline.

Of course, too low is not good, and too high is not good either.

Even if Shiraha had a Fifth-Level bloodline source to fuse with right now, he absolutely could not use it, because his current Fourth-Level bloodline source is fundamental. What he needs is for the "World Tree Companion Serpent" bloodline to devour other bloodlines, rather than be devoured by other bloodlines.

The easiest Third-Level Bloodline for Shiraha to obtain right now is from the other two holy lands' founders, Katsuyu Sage and Great Toad Sage, who are on the same level as White Snake Sage, the founder of Ryūchi Cave.

It shouldn't be too difficult to get some highly active cells from the Katsuyu Sage, since there's a connection between Nawaki and Tsunade.

However, Shiraha had no connection with Mount Myōboku.

Moreover, it is said that the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku is also proficient in the ability of dream prophecy, which has tricked Jiraiya into searching for the Child of Prophecy Jiraiya these years. Obviously, he is not easy to deal with. Even if the opponent's combat power is not as strong as that of a level Third Level Third-Level Wizard, a creature that has reached this level of life is definitely not easy to mess with.

Shiraha was not prepared to take any risks.

The other option is the treasure of Star Hidden Village: the cells inside the "Star," the body tissue of Mythological Creature.

There is also Fourth-Level Mythological Creature shell Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Half a year passed quickly.

Shiraha kept his promise to Shion and stayed with her in the Demon Country for half a year.

Moreover, during the past six months, Shiraha has basically used his rest time for experiments. In his spare time, he has been guiding Shion's cultivation. After all, she is his daughter and has excellent talent as a sorcerer. In the future, she will be involved in using the power of the Priestess and assisting Mōryō Shiraha in researching the otherworldly demons and searching for Alternate Dimension. Therefore, Shiraha will not let her waste such precious cultivation time.

In this world of extraordinary power, many people want to become stronger, but they either lack resources or talent, leaving them vulnerable to bullying. Only the strong can control their own destiny.

Of course, Shiraha was not demanding that Shion cultivate, but rather agreed with her that he would give her a certain reward for each stage of cultivation she completed.

Last month, six-year-old Shion reached the Second-Class Apprentice stage, so Shiraha took her on a trip to the Land of the Sea Islands, where he also introduced her to some younger brothers and sisters.

After the trip, Shiraha sent Shion back to the Demon Country, and had Kakuzu and Sasori take turns protecting her and the Serpent Spirit Corporation.

Last time, when Shion was kidnapped, besides her own desire to go out and have fun, the most important reason was that Kakuzu and Sasori were both busy with their own things. Kakuzu was thinking about how to earn more money every day, while Sasori was using the power and funds of the Serpent Spirit Corporation to research new puppet technology.

While the two didn't slack off in their guard duties, they weren't exactly dedicated either.

Shiraha did not punish the two, but Shiraha single-handedly subdued Iwagakure and forced them to pay a huge sum of 1.5 billion ryo. This shows the extent of Shiraha's current strength. Therefore, the two assured Shiraha that there would be no second accident.

After returning to the Uzumaki Clan, Shiraha did not rush into cultivation and experimentation.

After all, the Mental Power Crystallization requires a long and gradual process. At this stage, Shiraha has developed resistance to those drugs that used to significantly enhance Mental Power. In addition, his base Mental Power is constantly increasing, so the slight increase in Mental Power from the drugs is not very noticeable. Although he has money, some resources cannot be squandered at will.

The "Deep Blue Potion" is still effective. After being improved, it is more effective, but it is still a little less effective than the original version which has no resistance.

Of course, the most crucial reason is that the production process of "Deep Blue Potion" is quite complicated, and its short-term effect on Shiraha is minimal. Therefore, he provided all the newly produced "Deep Blue Potion" to his three children.

Inside the central office building of the Uzumaki Clan.

Kushina left a pile of documents for Shiraha to process, and he spent several days reviewing them without finishing.

To be honest, although Kushina didn't say anything, she still harbored resentment towards Shiraha for not coming home for half a year, taking the children on a trip but not her along. Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately left so many documents for him to handle.

Shiraha was aware of this, so he took immediate action.

Soon, it became completely dark.

Shiraha got up and stretched his body a little.

With his current physical condition, he wouldn't feel physically tired from handling this matter; it's just a habit he's retained from the past.

After stretching, Shiraha returned to his desk, looked at the remaining stack of documents, and told himself, "Let's work through the night and finish this in one go!"

Night deepened, and I had no idea what time it was.

Squeak~

The office door was pushed open, making a distinct sound in the silent Kokuyoru.

Shiraha didn't look up, continuing to process the last of the documents. He knew without even looking that at this hour, the only person who could enter the office without knocking Kushina.

Snap!

With a soft click, Kushina placed a food box on the desk and said reproachfully, "I told you not to go home until you've finished dealing with the documents, are you really not going home? You won't even come back for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Shiraha chuckled inwardly, stopped what he was doing, and deliberately spoke:

"I'm here to help you relieve Kushina's burden! What are you dressed like this for?!"

Shiraha looked up and was stunned when he saw Kushina's outfit. Kushina had long, flowing red hair and was wearing a white spaghetti strap nightgown that revealed a large expanse of her fair skin. The nightgown was short, revealing her long, shapely legs, which were covered in white fishnet stockings. Shiraha's eyes lit up with envy.

"What are you afraid of? The children are all asleep. I have the ability to sense things. Who would see me dressed like this so late?" Kushina said with a smile, somewhat alluringly, "I'm just here to reward you for working so hard."

With that, Kushina opened the lunchbox and took out the fragrant food inside. "Here, let's eat first."

"With you here, what's the point of eating?!" Shiraha grabbed Kushina and then covered her mouth with his tongue.
