The Epicly Enhanced Konoha Crush Plan (I)

Shiraha ended his meditative state, stopped absorbing the Life Particles from the Gelel Ore Vein, and stood up.

The last time this situation occurred was after the Wood Spirit Avatar, Issei, entered Parallel World, and Anrokuzan, who obtained his bloodline power, suddenly disappeared.

However, at that time, due to the cross-world connection, Shiraha's perception as the original body was weakened.

Only the Wood Spirit Avatar, Issei sensed that the bloodline power within Anrokuzan's body had disappeared and then entered the body of another creature, but before he could perceive it clearly, the soul aura was annihilated.

This time, Shiraha's perception was more obvious because the person who eliminated the soul aura from his bloodline power was clearly in the same world as him.

However, before the soul energy could be fully integrated into the other's soul, it was completely destroyed.

There are probably very few ninjas in the entire Shinobi World who can do something like this.

One must possess either powerful Mental Energy, a special physique, an extremely large amount of Chakra, or both, to erode his soul aura.

There are not many people in the entire Shinobi World who possess his bloodline power: two "Wood Spirit Avatar," three direct bloodline descendants, Shion, Hikari, and Taichi, as well as two subordinates who are still by his side, Lanke and Timothy.

Hikari and Taichi followed Kushina.

The current top combat power of Uzushiogakure is definitely the number one among the Six Great Ninja Villages, even if Shiraha is outside.

Kushina has begun learning the Nine-Tails Sage Art.

Four years ago, Shiraha's raw strength was probably not as good as Kushina's.

He estimated that his strength now surpassed Kushina's, but it wasn't an overwhelming gap.

So the problem definitely didn't originate from Taichi or Hikari.

As for Shion, Issei, the Wood Spirit Avatar of the Kodama, is stationed in the Demon Country. Unless one possesses Super Kage-level strength, they cannot defeat him.

"Aside from the Isshiki that might have extracted Anrokuzan's bloodline, the only other one that could be Orochimaru possessing my blood is... Could it be..."

Shiraha fell into deep thought, and through the process of elimination, he had a general idea of his target.

Isshiki was severely injured by Naruto and Sasuke. Unless he absorbs the Dragon Vein Chakra or captures more Tailed Beast, it would be impossible for him to absorb their bloodline at this time. That would be courting death.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, obtained his blood and also acquired the complete "Companion Serpent Meditation Method".

If Orochimaru were to dilute his blood and discover a way to eliminate the soul consciousness within his bloodline, it wouldn't be impossible.

Even if you have the method, you still need extremely strong Mental Power and Chakra.

The biggest problem with the ' Living Corpse Reincarnation ' is that it weakens the Soul Power, so Orochimaru would probably find it difficult to do so.

Unless he has some amazing encounter, such as obtaining the Sage of Six Paths' Yin Power.

"If it's Orochimaru, then it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Shiraha smiled.

If Orochimaru absorbed his blood but simultaneously eliminated the soul consciousness within it, then he could cultivate the "Companion Serpent Meditation Method" using the power of his bloodline without being directly controlled by Shiraha's bloodline.

However, this "Companion Serpent Meditation Method" is a derivative Meditation Method derived from the "World Tree Companion Serpent," a Fourth-Level bloodline source.

Once Orochimaru trains, he and Shiraha will be Bloodline Warlock of the same origin.

Moreover, Shiraha is a "Spirit Summoning Warlock" who is superior to other Bloodline Warlock of the same rank, and he cultivates the "Guindo Advanced Warlock Meditation Method".

Therefore, even without the suppression of soul consciousness, there is still the restraint of the difference in Meditation Method level.

Even a level two sorcerer with the same Fourth-Level bloodline source would probably be no match for Shiraha.

Even if Orochimaru advances to the Second-Level Bloodline sorcerer, it remains to be seen how much of his strength he can unleash against Shiraha.

Their relationship was relatively harmonious, with no fundamental conflicts. Even if they couldn't become close friends, they could cooperate, and at least they wouldn't become enemies.

"If Orochimaru really did that, I'd have to ask him for some pointers. Being able to make a preliminary breakthrough in understanding the soul consciousness contained within bloodline power is quite impressive!"

Shiraha decided that he would go back this time to discuss things with Orochimaru.

After just four years of cultivation, Shiraha's Mental Power materialized and entered the ' Liquid State ' bottleneck. The effect of the Gelel Stone was much greater than he had imagined.

Without the help of the Gelel Stone, even if he had Kashin Koji summon the Samadhi Fire to train his Mental Power, the time it would take him to recover his Mental Power would also increase as his mental Mental Power increased. It would conservatively take him ten years to reach the bottleneck of Mental Power Liquid State.

If he had stayed in the mine to continue his secluded cultivation, he might have been able to enter the Mental Power Crystallization stage in a year or two.

However, because he felt an uncomfortable swelling in his soul recently, he decided to slow down the rate at which he absorbed the Life Particles from the Gelel Ore Vein.

After much deliberation, Shiraha concluded that the reason for his rapid cultivation and the excessively rapid growth of his Mental Power was that he had to first have Kashin Koji summon the Samadhi Fire to train his Mental Power and eliminate the discomfort of the swelling in his soul before continuing to materialize his Mental Power.

"I didn't expect that cultivating too quickly would also be a problem."

Shiraha sighed inwardly.

At the age of 34, he reached the bottleneck of the second-level warlock's Mental Power Liquid State, which was rare even during the heyday of the Wizarding World.

Moreover, Shiraha also cultivated other cultivation methods, making his combat strength far superior to those of his peers.

Shiraha rolled up his sleeves and looked at the Blue Rhombus Crystal Pattern on his arm. This was a new way of using the Gelel Stone that he had developed after studying the Timothy bloodline.

Boom--!

Shiraha Yu suddenly released a powerful aura, and as his Magic Power surged, his body was quickly covered with blue and white scales.

Each scale shimmered with a faint blue light, containing an extremely strong vitality.

By combining the "Demonic Scales" with the life energy of the Gelel Stone, the defense increases dramatically, and the attack power also increases accordingly.

[Colossus Skill: The Secret Martial Art of Life, Fifth Level Entry (Six Levels in Total); Special Effect 1: Each level achieved will enhance physical constitution; Special Effect 2: Starting from the third level, it will purify one's bloodline (Currently lacking a key core, it cannot be extended to higher levels; the limit is General-level)]

"The fourth level of ' Colossus Skill ' is indeed powerful! I wonder what the fifth level will be like?"

Shiraha clenched his fist, feeling the power surging through his body to its limit. He felt somewhat excited and wanted to throw a punch at something.

After adjusting for a while, Shiraha activated "Eye of Truth" to check the changes in his physical condition.

[Bloodline: World Tree Companion Serpent, Fourth-Level (White Phosphorus Serpent, Half Fourth-Level + Divine Tree, Half Fourth-Level); Bloodline Purity 89.5%, Quality "Excellent"]

Four years later, Shiraha's lifespan not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

Of course, the main reason is that the purity of the bloodline increased by as much as 9% in just four years, reaching an astonishing 89.5%.

However, once the Gelel Stone raises the bloodline purity to 88.4%, it can no longer be increased.

As for the remaining 1.1% bloodline enhancement, it was due to the effect of breaking through the Secret Martial Art of Life "Colossus Skill," which made Shiraha pay even more attention to the Secret Martial Art of Life.

Furthermore, his cultivation of the Secret Martial Art of Life improved his physique by as much as 2 points in four years, bringing him a significant step closer to meeting the physique requirements for advancing to the Third Level sorcerer.

"Let's go back and check first." Shiraha deactivated the spell and decided to return to the Land of Whirlpools first.

He hasn't been home for four years. If he doesn't go back soon, Kushina will probably go berserk.

After summoning the Kodama from the Land of Rain, Shiraha had it oversee the Underground Palace. He then inscribed Teleportation array on the spot and returned to the underground laboratory of the Uzushiogakure.

Land of Rice Fields.

Otogakure, underground stronghold.

Orochimaru lay back on the bed, eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought, with an IV drip still attached to his right hand.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

"Lord Orochimaru, it's time to change the medicine."

The sound of a letter could be heard outside the room.

Orochimaru opened his eyes and said calmly, "Come in."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Shin pushed open the door and walked in carrying a metal tray containing prepared medicine.

Shin came to the bedside, replaced Orochimaru's empty medicine bottle, then bowed respectfully and left the room.

Orochimaru watched Shin's retreating figure with a smile on his face. He didn't lack loyal subordinates, but Shin's willingness to help him in that critical moment was beyond Orochimaru's expectations.

After all, Xin sought him out to become stronger and willingly became his experimental subject.

At that time, he had absolutely no ability to resist. If Xin attacked him, relying entirely on his special physique to transplant his cells, his strength would undergo a qualitative change in a short period of time, but Xin did not.

This gave Orochimaru the idea of taking him as a disciple.

A week has passed since that perilous reincarnation. Orochimaru has completely devoured Isshiki, and has also acquired most of Isshiki's memories.

At this moment, his gaze was no longer limited to the Shinobi World and this planet.

Although his body has not yet recovered, Orochimaru's Chakra is increasing every day, and he can sense a terrifying power constantly reviving inside his body.

Now, he truly possesses a near-immortal body and an unyielding soul, giving him more time to explore unknown truths. The vast and boundless unknown universe is beckoning to him.

Night fell quickly, and Orochimaru had been on IV drips all day. He felt like his body was a bottomless pit, and no amount of nutrition could fill it up.

However, when Shin came to change his dressing that evening, Orochimaru told Shin to rest early, then removed the needle, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Orochimaru's consciousness entered a pitch-black space.

As the meditation deepened, 18 runes of Will runes with mysterious patterns appeared under the influence of Orochimaru's Mental Power, becoming increasingly solid and arranging themselves in a special way.

Soon, a large number of Energy Particles surged into Orochimaru's body.

"Such dense Energy Particles!?"

Orochimaru was startled as he felt various special Energy Particles surging into his body. He quickly calmed down and continued meditating.

After a week, Orochimaru finally succeeded in constructing all the Will runes and completed the introductory stage of the "Companion Serpent Meditation Method".

As the sky brightened outside the window and sunlight streamed into the room, the night had passed.

Orochimaru opened his eyes, looking at the sunlight outside the window with great enthusiasm, his eyes filled with barely suppressed joy.

"Is this what they call First-Class Apprentice? His Mental Power has recovered considerably, and even increased. In just one night, he's achieved this level of Mental Power boost."

"No wonder! Is this the real reason why Shiraha was able to become so strong so quickly?!"

Orochimaru thought to himself.

At first, Orochimaru hesitated about whether to practice the "Companion Serpent Meditation Method" given to him by Shiraha. However, after thoroughly understanding Shiraha's soul consciousness within his body and absorbing the power in Shiraha's Blood, the attraction of the "Companion Serpent Meditation Method" to Orochimaru came almost from the depths of his soul.

He simply went through it all again with his soul, and then he couldn't hold back any longer.

The effects of the "Companion Serpent Meditation Method" far exceeded Orochimaru's expectations.

Even during the stage of constructing the Will runes, his Mental Power began to increase slightly, and after successfully constructing all the Will runes, it increased rapidly.

After all, in the ninja world, there are almost no secret techniques to enhance Mental Power.

The difficulty of significantly improving Mental Power is absolutely no less than the difficulty of learning Space-Time Ninjutsu.

"Thinking about it this way, Shiraha might not be from this world either, but rather a visitor from outer space. Otherwise, a secret technique like the ' Companion Serpent Meditation Method ' couldn't have been developed in a short time."

"Last time we were fortunate to have Shiraha's blood, and this time we're taking advantage of the Meditation Method."

Orochimaru suddenly realized that his attitude towards Shiraha was not as honest as Shiraha's towards him.

When he donated the blood, Shiraha did not hide anything, otherwise he would not have been able to develop a method to eliminate the soul consciousness in the blood.

Without the help of Shiraha's Blood, he would never have been able to turn the tide in the battle for souls with Isshiki and gain such a tremendous benefit.

"I can only repay Shiraha in other ways."

Orochimaru thought to himself that what he disliked most was owing favors.

The current situation is that even if he delivers the letter to Shiraha, it seems he still won't be able to repay such a huge favor.

Moreover, he has already decided to accept Shin as his disciple. A disciple is like half a family member, and Orochimaru will respect Shin's wishes and will no longer treat him as an object or commodity.

Of course, Orochimaru didn't feel he couldn't repay Shiraha's favor. Once Shiraha fully adapted to his current body and completely digested Isshiki's power and legacy, his strength would definitely experience a qualitative leap compared to before.

"Wood Release, Byakugan, Sharingan, Immortal Body —I want them all!"

Orochimaru's eyes revealed a hint of madness.

"Old man, just wait for me."
