Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 666: The Biggest Hurdle

After Danzo hurriedly left with Yondaime Raikage and his fellow Kumo shinobi, Orochimaru slowly walked out of the shadows.

At the same time, Homusubi also came out from behind a big tree and stood near him.

After a moment of silence, Orochimaru withdrew his gaze and asked Homusubi, “Why did you not try to stop him?”

Homusubi asked the same question, “Why didn’t you?”

Orochimaru shook his head, “You know that I no longer have an ace up my sleeve, and neither do I have the strength to fight against Danzo in the presence of Yondaime Raikage… stopping him would have been a very difficult task for me…”

“Difficult? Yes…!” nodded Homusubi, then added after a pause, “But impossible? Certainly a No…!”

Orochimaru chuckled, “It seems you know me quite well…” then added after a pause, “And what about you? What excuses do you have?”

Homusubi said helplessly, “The volcano collapsed, so I wasn’t able to make it here on time…”

Orochimaru said, “So it seems.”

But these were just empty words, Orochimaru is clear that Homusubi was here on time, and if she really wanted, she could have stopped Danzo from leaving… But… she didn’t… which can only mean that she too has realized it.

And it is exactly as Orochimary thought… Homusubi was not affected by the collapsed and erupted volcano, although it seemed that she would be buried in it, however, using the defense of Susano’o, she was able to safely make it out alive, and saw something unexpected the moment she arrived here.

The silence lasted for a while until Homusubi broke it with her solemn words, “Our cooperation ends here.”

Orochimaru nodded, “I suppose it does.”

After thinking for a while, Homusubi added coldly, “You better not spread the word about the ceremony to anyone… otherwise, the consequences wouldn’t be very good… Amatsukami is different from Akatsuki, offending us is something you can’t afford, and you can’t escape our anger even if you hide in the depths of Ryuchi Cave…”

“Humph…” Orochimaru shorted coldly, then used body flicker Jutsu to disappear.

To be honest, Homusubi is not that worried about Orochimaru publicizing the effects of the newly improved ‘Chimera Jutsu’ and ‘Kekkei Genkai Absorption ritual’ as well as their involvement in it… She knows Orochimaru would never do something so foolish because doing so would make him one of the enemies of the entire shinobi world, which is something he definitely doesn’t want at this time.

Well all that aside, after Orochimaru left Homusubi once again glanced in the direction Danzo left with the Raikage and his entourage, then she too disappeared.

Kuroto’s Laboratory

After erasing all signs of Homusubi’s presence at the Volcano, Kuroto returned to the floating fortress.

Here, firstly he calmed her mind, then recorded every bit of information about what happened during the ‘Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual.

True, many unexpected things happened during the ritual, among which some were acceptable, and some were unacceptable, overall, the effect of the ritual was beyond what he had expected.

After witnessing this ritual, Kuroto can certainly say that attaining Kekkei Mora is not impossible, it is no longer just wishful thinking, or a theoretical possibility, but a goal that is practically achievable as long as all the conditions are met.

One after another, all the details were recorded, and soon the ledger was completed with a brief summary.

“The effect of the newly developed Chimera Buds is also very good… although there is indeed some hidden danger that they carry, however, this problem is not unsolvable…”

“There was also no problem in regards to the arrangement of the Ritual Ceremony… all the seals did their job perfectly, however, I have to make sure that the Altar must be stronger…”

The altar used by Danzo was also very strong, however, it was easily destroyed, which is a bit of a conundrum.

The ritual altar is the key to continuing the ceremony until the very end, and Kuroto can’t guarantee that he won’t lose control over himself during the ritual ceremony, which is why the altar must be very strong, so that, even if he does lose control over himself, at least, the altar doesn’t get destroyed, such that nothing goes wrong with the ritual ceremony.

“All of these problems are identified and if enough attention is paid to them, all of them can be fixed… except one… and that is the problem of Chakra… This is the biggest headache…”

As the problem of chakra came, even Kuroto became helpless.

He doesn’t seem to have any solution to this problem…

The preparations Danzo made for his Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual were supposed to be more than adequate, however, those adequate preparations were still inadequate.

Kuroto assumes that even if there were no external interference in the ritual from Homusubi’s side, the best Danzo could have managed to achieve would have been a pair of Rinnegan, and that too at the cost of the sacrifice of all those fifteen hundred shinobis.

As for Kekkei Mora? Don’t even dream about it!

Kekkei Mora is levels above the Rinnegan state, and to reach that state would have required as much Chakra as the Ten-tailed beast carries… or at least half of it!

Even the combined Chakra of all the Shinobi in existence isn’t enough to reach the level of the Nine-tails… much less half of the ten-tails…

And even if we assume that the chakra of all the shinobi in existence when combined together is enough for attaining Kekkei Mora… How is Kuroto supposed to bring them to the Chakra Transmission Array and drain them of their Chakra until they are sucked dry and die of Chakra loss?
