Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 145 - – 142 Path To Godhood



Orochimaru carefully examined Kuroto's expression for a while and after judging something, he finally started walking and said, "It's true, not very long ago, Hiruko joined the organization I am part of!"

Kuroto pretended to be a little surprised by Orochimaru's words, "I didn't expect him to join your organization!" ​​

Orochimaru snorted softly, "Well not like he had any right to choose, and it might not be such a bad thing for him!"

Kuroto nodded and after a bit of thinking, he asked tentatively, "Orochimaru-Sama, I have heard that Hiruko has been creating a very practical forbidden Jutsu, is this rumor actually true?"

Orochimaru glanced at Kuroto with slight intrigue, "Hooh, so you have an interest in that technique?"

"Heh, there is nothing I can hide from you, Orochimaru-Sama!" – Now that Orochimaru has seen through what Kuroto was interested in, he didn't try to hide it and nodded bluntly, "Yes, I am very interested in that technique!"

Orochimaru looked into the distance as if he was recalling his older memories.

After a while of thinking, he slowly said, "Hiruko is from my generation, a contemporary and a former friend of the Sannin, you should know that. But the thing is, he desired to become a strong Shinobi similar to me, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, however, he lacked the necessary talent, nor was he born with any special abilities.

To overcome this advantage, he delved himself into creating a Kinjutsu, which would allow him to leech the Kekkei Genkai of other ninjas by fusing their bodies into his own. Although it does appear to be very practical even if you don't count the many negatives it has, it still shouldn't be very attractive to you with the Hyuga Clan's very own Byakugan and the incredible talent you have shown recently!"

To a certain extent, Orochimaru and Hiruko are somewhat similar types of people, both are proficient researchers.

It's just that compared to Hiruko's mediocre talent as a Shinobi which often made others overlook him, Orochimaru has a very high talent as a Shinobi. This fact made, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru to be personally selected as disciples by Sandaime-Sama, and the three later came to be known as the Sannin.

On the other hand, Hiruko, a good friend of the same generation who had been close to Orochimaru during their Ninja Academy years, eventually drifted away from them.

But even Orochimaru with his excellent talent realized the insurmountable gap between the ninja with Kekkei and the ninja without Kekkei Genkai, after reaching his current power level.

Coupled with his obsession and goal of learning the secrets and all the technique in the world directed his attention towards the many forbidden techniques, and therefore he developed the 'Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique' that allows him to take over others body and also allows him to use their Kekkei Genkai.

Maybe around this time, Orochimaru somewhat understood Hiruko's struggle and the reason for him to go into hiding to develop such a Jutsu!

Every time Kuroto is praised as a 'Genius' by some of the most genii of the Shinobi World, Kuroto couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

Not trying to let Orochimaru-Sama's praise get over him, Kuroto asked, "I think, the forbidden technique he has been creating has great potential for development."

Orochimaru retracted his thoughts and asked curiously, "Are you really sure that you have an interest in the Chimera Technique?"

Kuroto nodded lightly, although he still had a faint smile, his eyes had that firm look. There was no doubt or any need for reconsideration, he really needed the 'Chimera Technique.' This is his biggest opportunity to become God in the future.

Looking at those eyes, Orochimaru realized that Kuroto was indeed serious, and decided to give Kuroto some insight on this technique, "That technique is currently in a semi-completed state, but that aside, it still has a negative impact according to which no one can bear the kind of burden it causes to the user." With a pause, Orochimaru chuckled again, "And if there is someone, whose body will be able to bear the burden of this technique, he wouldn't be needing such a nondescript technique in the first place."

Kuroto nodded, he understood what Orochimaru meant, but whether he agrees with Orochimaru's analysis was another matter altogether… Although Kuroto knows that Orochimaru is more or less correct, it still doesn't mean that he is spot on.

Using such a crude approach to leech of others Kekkei Genkai by fusing their bodies into his own, would obviously put an incredible burden upon anyone. After undergoing such body modifications, anyone will eventually become inhuman.

So, in this regard, Orochimaru is indeed correct.

But Orochimaru obviously underestimates Hiruko's talent and obsession, it's true that Hiruko might not have talent as a shinobi, but as a researcher, he might not be that inferior to Orochimaru himself, and this is something that Orochimaru hasn't recognized yet.

In the main story, although crudely, Hiruko did manage to leech four Kekkei Genkai using the 'Chimera Technique.' Even if he failed in that last step to fuse Kakashi's Sharingan because of some technical problems, combined with the activation of Tsunade's technique that she applied on Kakashi and thanks to Naruto's interference at the last minute. He still managed to acquire four Kekkei Genkai, and with that alone, his combat power surpassed the level of a Kage.

The Anbu elites couldn't resist any of his moves, even Kakashi and the entire of Naruto's generation had to join together to be able to defeat Hiruko. Does that not prove how effective even the incomplete version of the 'Chimera Technique' is?

Then just think of how strong can the complete version of the Chimera Technique be?

With this thought, Kuroto asked Orochimaru, "What happens if he manages to solve the problem of the physical burden?"

Hearing Kuroto's question, Orochimaru replied with an unusual surety, "Each Forbidden Technique has its limitation, there is no perfect Jutsu, he wouldn't be able to overcome that last step!"

Kuroto nodded, and indeed Hiruko wasn't able to overcome that last weakness perfectly and had to undergo several body modifications.

'But still, Hiruko has to be admired for his ingenuity to use the celestial phenomenon to draw power from the Sun's Corona during a Solar Eclipse to reach the last step.'

And Kuroto has already sensed at this moment that Orochimaru doesn't care too much about the 'Chimera Technique,' of course, there are too many flaws in it, which makes it less desirable for Orochimaru, but perhaps it has a lot to do with Orochimaru's arrogance too.

Maybe in Orochimaru's eyes, the low-level Hiruko could never create a technique of such a calibre, he was and always will be behind the Sannin.

But Kuroto is clearer, Hiruko who has been left behind is not inferior in terms of scientific talent, what he lacks is a broader vision to perfect that technique.

The Chimera Technique developed by Hiruko can indeed achieve the goal of leeching off others Kekkei Genkai, but this fusion is only quantitative and a heavy cost of Body Modification has to be paid to achieve it.

Its focus is to collect several different Kekkei Genkai to create a perfect ninja capable of dealing with all the situations.

There is no overall qualitative improvement in it.

This is the reason why Hiruko, even after assimilating four Kekkei Genkai lost to Naruto.

His Dark Release may have been very effective against normal ninjutsu, but when he encountered Naruto's 'Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!' which he couldn't replicate because of its highly complex combination of Shape and Nature Transformation, Hiruko immediately lost.

And there is no shortage of Jutsu as strong as or even more powerful and Complex than the Rasenshuriken in the Shinobi World.

Therefore, if there is no qualitative improvement, it doesn't matter how many Kekkei Genkai one assimilates, against an encounter of really strong Shinobi he/she will inevitably fall.

But that's just another issue altogether.

However, nobody could deny that Hiruko's original idea of being able to create the 'Chimera Technique' is really a genius one.

And Kuroto got his own inspiration from this idea.

The most wonderful thing about the 'Chimera Technique' is that it is capable of fusing Kekkei Genkai, in other words, it is capable of fusing Chakra Natures, with the only disadvantage being that the method of fusion is too rough, crude, and unstable.

Living Beings tend to walk towards stability, that's just an instinctive nature, therefore, harmony with the Soul is very essential.

After all, Chakra at the basic stage is a combination of physical and mental energies in an equal ratio. Mental energy is the spiritual power, that is the power of the soul, therefore the stability of the Soul with the body is highly essential for qualitative improvement.

It's similar to how 'Reanimation Jutsu' works, the level of power the different Reanimation shows is completely different based on the sacrifices used to bring the dead back to the living world as the Reanimation. After all, the sacrifice used must be compatible enough to bear the burden of the spiritual presence of strong individuals.

This is the main reason why White Zetsu Clone strengthened by Hashirama Cells were used as a sacrifice for all the Reanimation Summoning. And this also the only reason why the first Four Hokage's were able to use power close to their peak level even in their Reanimation State.

And the 'Chimera Technique,' as per Hiruko's use not only destroys the balance between one's soul and body but also the ratio of all Chakra Natures, this is the reason why Hiruko, didn't get any qualitative improvement even after assimilating four Kekkei Genkai.

But Kuroto has thought up a way to circumvent that shortcoming.

Since the method of fusion in the 'Chimera Technique' is too rough, and a person has to absorb the bodies of other ninjas to be able to use their Kekkei Genkai, so why not use Cloning, to create several clones that are fully compatible with oneself and his soul and then absorb those Clones that already have the necessary spiritual connection?

This method avoids the biggest flaw of the 'Chimera Technique' and doesn't disrupt the balance between one's Body and Soul.

And this is basically Kuroto's Grand Plan.

For this very reason, Kuroto has created that underground secret laboratory.

After all, Kuroto will have to create, Water Clone, Fire Clone, Earth Clone, Wind Clone, Lightning Clone the five basic Chakra natures, and finally Yang Clone representing Senjutsu…

With these six perfect clones, combined with his current main body that is of the Yin Nature courtesy to the Tenseigan. Kuroto will merge those six perfect clones into the main body with the Tenseigan as the core through the 'Chimera Technique', to achieve the perfect fusion of the five Chakra Natures combined with Yin, Yang, and Senjutsu Energy to achieve the supreme Kekkei Mora…
