Aoki Tsuki suddenly asked, "Sister Mimoto, what are your thoughts on the future development of the cult?"
"I don't know anything about these things. Such an important matter needs your approval. I just need to follow your instructions and execute them."
As Kikuno Momo spoke, she nestled into Aoki Tsuki's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck like a docile kitten.
How could she not know Aoki Tsuki's suspicions?
Given this older brother's personality, he would definitely conduct various obedience tests on her before he could feel at ease.
The boundaries of rights and personal positioning are all possible, from thought and spirit to the physical body, but she has made full 'psychological' preparations.
All she needs to do is grasp the core principles of 'loyalty and obedience'.
As expected, Aoki Tsuki remained unmoved by her advances and continued to ask:
"I heard that you have supplemented and improved the self-discipline regulations for the congregation, which has solved many pain points. You have done a good job."
" Butsushura's abilities are still a bit lacking for the position of Grand Butler."
Kikuno Momo wouldn't believe that he was incompetent; in an organization, obedience was the most important thing, not ability.
To solidify their position, leaders will only promote those less capable than themselves.
"I was just copying what the Root did, and it's inevitable that Butsushura would be overwhelmed when dealing with so many things by himself."
However, his greatest virtue is that he listens to you; only those you assign are willing to listen to me.
"Is that so?" Aoki Tsuki asked, still somewhat doubtful.
"Yes, I dare not touch any of the general framework you set; I can only supplement and improve it by trying to understand your meaning."
If you're still worried, you'll see when you get back.
"What kind of relationship do we have? Why wouldn't I trust you? You're overthinking it. I've said it before, you're the only person I trust."
Aoki Tsuki reached out and gently patted Kikuno Momo's shoulder; the soft touch ignited a fire within him.
"Sister Mimoto, it's been a while. Have you missed me?"
Kikuno Momo had anticipated this; her lecherous nature was unchangeable, and she would seize any opportunity to take advantage.
She countered with, "Have you missed me?"
"Every day I fall asleep in your arms, dreaming of you. Let me tell you a secret: I suffer from severe insomnia, and you are my cure."
"Then tell me quickly how 'I' treated you..."
His initiative is so proactive; he must have something big in mind. But it's not his style to turn down a peach that's been offered to him.
"Ahem... it's through a game."
"What kind of game is it?" Kikuno Momo was very curious about what tricks this guy could play on her.
"I'll teach you properly."
At this point, he suddenly stood up from his chair, ignoring the latter's exclamation, and began his teaching.
"Damn it... let go... you can't do this..."
Snap!
"When working, address me by my title; call me 'Chief.'"
"Chief... please... don't do this..."
"No, I have severe insomnia and need your help to treat it."
Kikuno Momo was no match for him and had no choice but to compromise, so she focused on helping Aoki Tsuki treat his insomnia.
The prey's struggles further provoke the predator's ferocity, making confrontation necessary.
"Wait... what's wrong with me? It's not working!"
Aoki Tsuki felt a little flustered, probably because the last time he summoned the Thunder God, it had damaged his 'foundation', which made him feel powerless.
He had actually noticed this situation while he was in the village; his endurance was declining significantly during physical training.
"Oh no, what do we do?"
Extremely anxious and panicked, if you can't hold your head up at a time like this, your dignity will be shattered and you'll be permanently nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Oh, right, I also have the Body Activation Technique. If my body isn't up to par, I can make up for it with this secret technique."
At the crucial moment, Aoki Tsuki came up with a solution; the secret technique was truly superior, even Xiao Lan couldn't compare.
It's true that having many skills is never a burden; there will always be a time when you need them.
After undergoing treatment, he finally went out to inspect the work of various departments.
The purpose is to demonstrate his presence; otherwise, over time, the followers will only know Sister Mimoto and not him.
In the bedroom, Kikuno Momo sat cross-legged on the bed, her hands Hand Seals.
Sharingan - Release
"Phew... This bastard, if I hadn't used Genjutsu to hypnotize myself, I wouldn't have gotten away with this so easily."
You can't achieve great things if you're not tough on yourself.
This should alleviate Aoki Tsuki's wariness of her somewhat, allowing him to more confidently entrust her with the operation of the Jashin Cult and Akatsuki's intelligence systems.
After a while and some mental preparation, I finally recovered.
"Ouch... That was too brutal, it bit me... Even a compliance test doesn't have to go this far."
In the mirror, his body was covered in wounds, some red, some purple, some with teeth marks, some with handprints, and some with strangulation marks.
He looks like a sunny and handsome young man, but who would have thought that he's actually a psychopath?
Fortunately, I used Genjutsu on myself beforehand; otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to endure the torment and would have run away halfway through.
She learned for the first time that Aoki Tsuki's hair could stretch and retract freely, a secret he had never told her in all the time they had known each other.
Hopefully, things will get better from now on.
The Ninjutsu Research Institute has changed drastically. I don't know where Kikuno Momo recruited so many talented people; they've been divided into many departments.
The Hino, hurriedly ran to Aoki Tsuki and respectfully said, "Boss, you're back."
"Yes, things have changed a lot here."
As a leader, you don't need to explain to your subordinates where you went or what you did; you need to maintain an air of mystery.
"This was all reorganized according to your instructions and under Miss Mimoto's arrangement. I wonder how effective that Lightning Release Ninjutsu was last time? Does it need improvement?"
He didn't even have time to use that technique before his body couldn't take it anymore.
"It's alright. I'll refine the rest myself. You guys just need to focus on the theoretical research. If you need ninja assistance for experiments, try to find core members."
"I understand. Everything here has been kept secret, so please rest assured, Chief," Hino replied.
Aoki Tsuki nodded secretly. A follower who could be valued by the former High Priest must have some skills.
Is the research on Natural Energy going smoothly?
"It's not going smoothly. This energy is enormous, disordered, and violent. Unless you have enough Chakra and strong control, it's impossible to control it."
We tried several cases, but various indescribable malignant mutations occurred, and all attempts failed.
What suggestions do you have?
"With the aid of surgical techniques, we have a solid foundation in the study of these techniques. This approach is more likely to yield results and has broad applicability."
It wasn't surprising that Aoki Tsuki Hino think of this, since they had previously helped optimize the ' Fury ' technique and had a successful precedent.
This solves the two major problems of absorption and storage.
"Hmm, we can try applying Sealing Jutsu here, but take it slowly and make sure every step is steady."
Sealing Jutsu are the most unique in the ninja world. There is nothing that Sealing Jutsu cannot handle, whether it is Tailed Beast or a god, they can seal everything.
"Understood, I will try them one by one."
Afterwards, accompanied by Hino, Aoki Tsuki toured all the project departments of the research institute, letting everyone know who was in charge.
Like a lion surveying its territory.
Only after it was over did I go to the beach alone to sit quietly, facing the sea, where spring was in full bloom.
The spaciousness made him feel comfortable, relaxed, and more mentally active, making it the second environment besides Amegakure that could inspire him.
This period can be described as a time of great inspiration for him, an inevitable result of the fusion of combat experience, personal experience, and accumulated strength.
He needs to seize the opportunity to make a quick breakthrough.
"It's time to resolve the long-standing issue of Sage Mode. Let's start from the beginning, following first principles..."
The ninjas failed to absorb Natural Energy, and the Three Great Sage Lands each had subtle differences.
If you fail at Mount Myōboku, you will turn into a frog and eventually petrify; in Ryūchi Cave, you will turn into a snake and be eaten by other snakes; in Shikkotsu Forest, you may turn into a small Katsuyu and be absorbed by a large Katsuyu.
Success also affects one's abilities.
Mount Myōboku enhances attack power and perception, Ryūchi Cave represents perception and life manipulation, and Shikkotsu Forest is speculated to represent ultimate self-healing and recovery abilities.
Jūgo's mode has the disadvantage of mutating into a beast, but the advantages are that he has healing abilities such as cell absorption and excretion, his combat power is greatly increased, and he can understand the language of small animals.
Aoki Tsuki, who explored on his own, gained an improvement in his perception and basic attributes, but compared with other factions, he lacked core strength.
You need to choose a direction, explore it in depth, and turn it into your own unique trump card.
As the saying goes, inspiration comes from life.
He discovered the value of ' Body Activation Technique ' while playing on the rocking horse, which greatly inspired him.
He had always overlooked the secret technique of revitalization, which he had accidentally mastered after being struck by lightning multiple times on Thunder God Mountain.
The Kumogakure's Lightning Release Chakra Mode also enhances bodily functions, strength, and nerve transmission speed by stimulating the body's cells with electrical current.
It has a strong effect, but also puts a heavy burden on the body and can cause damage.
Aoki Tsuki knows this all too well; the whole experience felt numb, which reduced the enjoyment.
And the aftereffects are significant.
"Is it possible to revitalize the physical body using Senjutsu Chakra?!"
Thinking about this, Aoki Tsuki seemed to have grasped a key point.
"If this idea succeeds, it will greatly improve my basic physical performance and fundamentally solve the problem of my Chakra levels."
This is equivalent to upgrading from 'Basic Sage Mode ' to ' Complete Sage Mode ', a revolutionary leap.
The added benefits are obvious: easily mastering Thunder God Mode will make life more harmonious and solve the problem of numbness.
While we're at it, let's also get rid of the physical aftereffects of the last Ninjutsu test.
This technique was arguably the biggest project he had undertaken since becoming a ninja. 'Interest' is the best teacher, Aoki Tsuki felt every cell in his body cheering.
Driven by a stirring in his heart, he had a vague feeling that this technique would bring him great benefits.
