Uchiha Makoto stroked his chin in thought. "Besides, the Uchiha Clan's path of evolution is actually very clear. Awaken our eyes, evolve the Sharingan, and ultimately reach the Mangekyo, or even... the Rinnegan."
"As long as we reach that stage, we'll naturally be on the level of the Six Paths. Foreign Asura cells might even conflict with our own bloodline. The losses could outweigh the gains."
He quickly abandoned the idea of implanting them into himself or his trusted subordinates.
The risk was too high, and the benefits were unclear.
"The best use for them would probably be making 'puppets' or 'enhanced modified bodies.'"
The first things that came to mind were the white monsters lurking in the shadows of this world: White Zetsu.
Those things came in plentiful supply and were degraded copies to begin with. If he could "upgrade" them with Asura cells, he might produce something interesting.
Unfortunately, White Zetsu were hidden too well. With his current abilities and intelligence network, he couldn't find so much as a trace of them.
"When I have time, I'll have to find a way to 'manifest' something that can detect or locate White Zetsu." Uchiha Makoto filed that thought away.
"For now, I'll have to stick to my old trade and go 'scavenging' on the battlefield."
Yes, in Uchiha Makoto's eyes, the third shinobi world war, which was about to erupt in full, was an enormous open-pit mine filled with all kinds of "high-quality materials."
The various nations' kekkei genkai shinobi, inheritors of secret techniques, elite jonin... all were potential raw materials for his "puppets."
With his first sample of Asura cells in hand, the rest would be easy.
The base's Automatic Cultivation Device could reproduce these cells in bulk. Although the copies' activity and purity would decline with each
