Blaze Release Fusion, Hero Association Scandal

The gas Gravity Training Room is not oxygen.

If it were oxygen, the strong gravity here would directly compress the molecules, turning the oxygen into liquid oxygen.

Therefore, Meikyō chose to consume the energy within his own body to replace breathing.

But within minutes, Meikyō was still blushing.

The first time I entered the Gravity Training Room and started training in Stellar Class gravity field, I was able to move at the speed of an ordinary Jonin. Now my physical fitness has improved many times over, but the Black Hole Class gravity training field is also many times larger than the Stellar Class gravity training field!

However, the higher the difficulty of the training here, the better the training effect will be.

At least now, the effect of the Meikyō absorbing blood energy is several times better than when it was at the White Dwarf Class!

Now Meikyō started to worry that the blood energy he had absorbed in the battle with the Monster Association might not be enough.

The feeling of being able to clearly sense your own strength improving little by little is simply wonderful.

Then, just as Meikyō was getting into the swing of things, she discovered that the gravity field in the Gravity Training Room had disappeared.

"This is..."

Meikyō pushed open the training room door and saw Fubuki, looking dissatisfied, removing the Psychic Power Directional Brainwave Amplifier from her head.

"Why did you turn it off? I could have kept going! It had only been on for a little over a minute!"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Fubuki, but the test data shows that if you continue to endure this, your brain will try to protect itself from overusing your Psychic Power and you will fall into a coma. The Black Hole Class Gravity Training Room is still a bit of a stretch for your current Psychic Power strength. In fact, according to the doctor's calculations, once your Psychic Power reach their limit, you can only last for less than ten minutes at most. Moreover, with our current energy facilities, a week's worth of electricity can only sustain the Black Hole Class Gravity Training Room for about five minutes."

The Armored Gorilla stood apologetically in front of a button and spoke to Fubuki.

This button is the switch to interrupt the maintenance of the gravity field in the gravity exercise room.

Fubuki glanced reluctantly at the Psychic Power Directional Brainwave Amplifier and sighed.

Meikyō comforted Fubuki for a while, then pondered in his heart:

As Genus mentioned before, once Fubuki's Psychic Power reach their peak, they can reach the upper-level of Dragon-level or even close to the peak of Dragon-level, and are likely no worse than Psykos after taking the drug.

Even if it reaches that point, it can only last for ten minutes, so on this planet, only Tatsumaki can really meet its requirements.

Another issue is energy.

"Take your time."

Meikyō smiled apologetically at the Armored Gorilla and left with Fubuki.

Meikyō seemed to have returned to a stable rhythm of life.

Even though Konoha was supposed to begin its final battle against Madara eight months later, according to the previous plan, Meikyō maintained the same pace—only the Wood Clone was busy.

After all, Meikyō's current strength is already at the ceiling level in the history of the Ninja World. The only ones who can be on the same level as him are those with the surname Otsutsuki. The raw strength of people like Uchiha Madara is still far inferior.

Meikyō only needs to ensure that her strength is enough to suppress them.

Instead of wasting time on other things, Meikyō believes it's better to do something worthwhile.

For example, improving the Kekkei Genkai.

"Wood Release, Boil Release, Lava Release, Ice Release, Obscuring Escape, and Scorch Release —these are the six Kekkei Genkai I've mastered before."

"We've already figured out Deidara's Explosion Release. This kid's talent is among the top tier of regular ninjas. He mastered Explosion Release before he was even ten years old. It seems to be related to his father, with some genetic factors."

"What's even more surprising is that we thought that with Dodai dead, the Four-Tails in Uchiha Madara's hands, and Kurotsuchi being too young, there would be no one else in the Ninja World who could Lava Release. But we didn't expect that old cunning Ōnoki had a trick up his sleeve. That guy named Whitestone actually knows Lava Release. He really kept it hidden."

In the past, someone like Whitestone would definitely be a major threat to other ninja villages. Although his strength was not up to Kage level, he would definitely be a top expert below Kage.

This person did not appear in the original timeline, and the most likely reason is that he did not live to see the Fourth Shinobi World War. It could be due to age or other factors, since it is quite normal for ninjas to have accidents while carrying out missions.

However, Meikyō is more inclined to believe that this is a butterfly effect caused by itself, resulting in change.

As the former head of Konoha's Intelligence Analysis Unit, Meikyō knows Whitestone well. After all, he is an elder of Iwagakure and possesses combat power at least at the Elite Jonin. He is also very skilled in Earth Style and Fire Style.

After the Four-Tails Jinchuriki became the Perfect Jinchuriki by passing through the True Waterfall on Turtle Island, he was able to fuse with a Kekkei even at such an advanced age by studying the Four-Tails' Lava Release.

This is rare, but unfortunately times have changed.

Twenty years ago, a strongman of this caliber could influence the course of a Shinobi World War, but today, he can only survive by relying on Konoha or Madara.

"We've also acquired the Explosion Release and Lava Release from Iwagakure, making it eight in total, which is half of what we need."

"The Wood Clone will meet with the Raikage and the delegation from Kumogakure in three days. Now that Iwagakure has collapsed and Kumogakure's two Tailed Beasts have been captured by Madara, even the Fourth Raikage, a brute, realizes that he needs to cling to Konoha more tightly. He can take some time to go back and arrange an internal sparring session under the guise of training to get a better understanding of Darui's Storm Release."

"Because I secretly ordered the Anbu and Root to gather information on bloodline ninjas, Orochimaru's Root even went to enemy-occupied territory to collect information on bloodline ninjas. They actually found a Crystal Release ninja. This should be a bloodline formed by the fusion of Earth Style Release Wind Style. He will be escorted back to Konoha in a few days."

"Oh right, there's also Magnet Release. There's no need to go looking for trouble with Rasa right now. I remember during the Third Shinobi World War, there was a guy from Kumogakure who knew Magnet Release who died at the hands of me and Orochimaru. In the end, his body fell into Orochimaru's hands. Orochimaru should still have that guy's body tissue on him. He can use Edo Tensei to Impure World Reincarnation and study it."

Regarding Magnet Release, Meikyō only knows of three people who can use it: the Third Kazekage, the Fourth Kazekage, and this Toroi.

The Third Kazekage is known as the strongest Kazekage of all time, and his strength ranks firmly among the top of the Kage Level shinobi. His Magnet Release manifests as the control of Iron Sand.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa, is somewhat weaker; he controls Gold Dust.

After all, finding Gold Dust is much more difficult than finding Iron Sand. Rasa was unlucky enough to become a gold miner, and without significantly affecting his strength, he used all the gold he found to subsidize the finances of Sunagakure.

On the contrary, Toroi is the weakest, far from being Kage Level ninja, and his ability is limited to controlling some ninja tools magnetized by his Magnet Release Chakra.

But at least it's Magnet Release, isn't it? It's Kekkei Genkai formed by fusing two basic Chakra, which satisfies the requirements of the Mirror of Meikyō.

"These three are the ones I can access in the short term, making eleven Kekkei Genkai. The remaining goal is to learn how to replicate Steel Release and Dark Release from Bhiruho. That leaves me with three more. Oh right, since Ōnoki was killed by Madara and the others, there's a high probability that Bhiruho Dust Release. If it's Kekkei Tōta, it should be of great help to me in mastering the Kekkei Mōra."

"Then let's focus our main efforts for this period on mastering the remaining three Kekkei Genkai. Blaze Release is formed by fire and lightning, so it's not difficult for me, since Fire Style and Lightning Style are my strengths."

"Of the remaining two, Kumogakure once had Swift Release ninjas, so they should also have records about mastering Swift Release, which can be used for reference."

"The last remaining Lava Release is quite rare. There are very few records of it in Konoha. In the original work, there is only that guy who formed the Lightning Corps with Chiyo, I think his name is Feng Xin. We can ask Oomuro Castle Flame to cooperate in the investigation as well."

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, he didn't neglect his cultivation of the Meikyō of Clarity.

A blazing flame erupted from his hand, accompanied by crackling electrical sounds.

Lightning and fire are both explosive and difficult-to-control Chakra natures, and fusing them is not an easy task.

Fortunately, Meikyō has now mastered a variety of Kekkei Genkai, including Boil Release, Scorch Release, and Explosion Release, all of which are related to lightning and fire attributes. Through this exploration, he has made some progress.

"Looking at Uchiha Sasuke's performance of Blaze Release in the original timeline, he actually used his own Kagutsuchi to bring the Shape Transformation of Amaterasu to its limit, and then incorporated his already mastered Lightning Style into it to create the fusion. The form of the fusion was mainly black flames, so the core of Blaze Release should be Fire Style."

Meikyō looked at the lightning Chakra in his hand that had merged together but then exploded again after a few seconds, and began to think again.

Amaterasu is known as the strongest Fire Style. Although it is Dojutsu, it is ultimately Fire Style. Apart from the fact that it can burn anything and cannot be extinguished by external factors, its other properties are no different from Fire Style cast with normal Chakra.

In terms of the nature of Fire Style, Sasuke is definitely at a higher level. Kagutsuchi, the Dojutsu, essentially pushed Sasuke's Shape Transformation of Fire Style Release to its limit—even if it was only when using Amaterasu.

In terms of Lightning Style, Sasuke's skill level is probably higher than that of Fire Style. This is evidenced by a series of Lightning Release Ninjutsu developed based on Chidori, such as Chidori Stream and Chidori Sharp Spear. He has also developed a Lightning Release technique with a difficulty S-rank, which he was able to use until the final battle with Naruto. This basically represents the limit that a regular ninja can achieve in Lightning Style.

"One condition for mastering Blaze Release is reaching the ultimate Shape Transformation of Fire Style. As for Lightning Style, it should also focus more on Shape Transformation, otherwise the forms of the two are not so easy to merge."

"That's right. Chidori is Lightning Release Ninjutsu that focuses on the nature transformation of Lightning Style. It is slightly lacking in terms of Shape Transformation, which makes Chidori have certain defects. Only dynamic vision of the Sharingan level can make up for it."

Sasuke's later development of Lightning Style likely involved leveraging his Sharingan to enhance his control over Lightning Style Shape Transformation. This allowed him to alter the shape of Chidori, shaping it into Ninjutsu like Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Stream. The same applies to Lightning Release: Kirin. The user is merely a medium; the majority of its power doesn't originate from the user but from the Lightning itself, condensing it into Shape Transformation and directing it towards the enemy. The true key lies in the Shape Transformation of Lightning Style. Only by mastering the Shape Transformation of both Chakra natures to their limits can both coexist.

"The key point should be the nature transformation. Lightning and fire have many things in common, such as high temperature and explosion. Starting from this aspect should give us a direction. If all else fails, we can ask Snake Uncle if he knows a few Fire Style and Lightning Style nature transformations. After all, Sasuke in the original timeline was taught by Orochimaru. So we can just use the process of elimination to try and fail within this limited scope."

Meikyō's thinking is getting better and better.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

The visitors were Genos and Saitama.

"Saitama? Genos? What's the matter?"

Meikyō asked the two of them.

"Oh, I don't know, Genos said something big was going to happen."

Saitama, quite the smooth talker, pointed his finger, which had been picking his nose, at Genos.

Meikyō's gaze fell upon Genos.

"Teacher Meikyō, both the Hero Association and Neo are in big trouble right now."

Genos tapped a button next to his head, and a virtual projection immediately appeared in his eyes.

After the Monster Association incident, Genos commissioned Dr. Kusuno to further upgrade his body. In addition to the Incineration Core used to unleash the initial version of the Incineration Cannon, the Turbo Core added during the first upgrade, and the G4 Core obtained after defeating G4 Mech God, he also modified the G5 Core obtained after defeating G5 Mech God into the Lightning Core.

Its strength is already quite formidable among Dragon-level, and even the duration of its Extreme Firepower Mode, which originally could only last for ten seconds, has been extended.

In addition, there are a series of auxiliary functions, including the ability to project virtual images using your eyes.

"Tell me more about it."

Meikyō used her Psychic Power to serve tea to the two of them, and gestured for Genos to transfer the virtual projection to the table so they could speak slowly.

"Yes, Teacher Meikyō, please look at this. These are the latest news reports."

"The corruption within the Hero Association has been exposed by the Neo Organization, which has led to the resignation of a large number of the Hero Association. In addition to selling and breeding monsters and intending to create biological weapons, this is what has disheartened most of the heroes the most."

"There are high-ranking members within the Hero Association who run underground gambling operations. They deliberately use false information to determine the level of monsters, lure some heroes to fight them, and then broadcast the scene live, betting on the outcome of the battle."

"Four days ago, B-rank hero Light Bicycle Warrior was paralyzed during a battle with a monster called Chihuahua Wolf Rat Wolf-level, which was actually Tiger-level monster."
