Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 171 Sharingan

The discussion about naming ninjutsu came to an end there.

The brains of the main body and the clone are completely identical, and the naming difficulties cannot be alleviated by shadow clones. In any case, the ability of Ash Bones to extract chakra and life force is indeed greatly suppressed.

The runes formed from flesh and blood completely enveloped the bones, as if dense, bright red characters were etched onto the grayish-white skeleton. The ever-increasing layers of chakra-blocking techniques transformed the gray bones into a desolate isolation zone, no longer able to absorb even a trace of energy.

The skeletal branches, resembling roots and stems, vie for the life force within the flesh and blood, but passive absorption can never compare to the Eight Gates Formation, which was created from the very beginning to burn life force.

With its master, Hui Li, taking sides, Hui Gu couldn't absorb even a trace of life force, and could only remain thirsty and sink into deep silence.

Despite being weakened by numerous factors, the markings on the surface of the gray bones were still growing, but even with Gray Glass's white eyes, it was difficult to observe their specific growth rate.

Based on a simple estimate, its growth rate has been reduced by at least a hundredfold. If it can be guaranteed that the Grey Bone technique will never be used again, then until the day she dies of old age, the Corpse Bone Vein will never be able to fully evolve into Grey Bone.

Naturally, there's no need to worry about whether the body can withstand the even higher level of the shared-killing ash bones.

It can be said that her bloodline disease has been cured by her various ingenious ideas.

But this is not enough!

Looking inward at the dormant bones within her body, Hui Li was not satisfied with the status quo. Although she had more and more methods now, her most powerful and essential strengths were still the Byakugan and the Corpse Bone Pulse.

If we were to abandon the Corpse Bone Cultivation now, not only would we be cutting off one's own arm, but it would also be a great pity that we would be unable to utilize that power of death.

Therefore, the Eight Gates Reversal cannot stagnate, and the Sage Body must be perfected in order to support the consumption of Ash Bones evolution. Moreover, her chakra reserves have always been a major constraint. Although Samehada can temporarily compensate for this, it is only a temporary solution.

External things are ultimately not as reliable as one's own strength.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was able to defeat Killer Bee, was easily defeated by her because he relied too much on Samehada's power.

If she also becomes immersed in the false power brought by Samehada, she will be defeated by others in the same way sooner or later.

This was an ending she absolutely could not accept.

Where is your three-tomoe Sharingan?

"here!"

Upon hearing the question from the main body, the Yang Release clone took out the Sharingan that it had just taken from the Experiment Department and waved it around.

Gudu Gudu!

The slightly viscous solution made a strange sound.

Soaked in a clear saline solution, the scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan floated quietly on the surface of the water, its vitreous humor covered with dense blood vessels, enough to make anyone with trypophobia feel extremely uncomfortable.

Without fear, Hui Li took the glass bottle and poured the eyeball into his palm.

The limp, purplish-red blood vessels and nerves drooped listlessly, the wet eyeballs were dull and lifeless, and the three tomoe that used to spin so lively were extremely lifeless.

呲!
A thin crack automatically appeared in the palms of Hui Li's hands, and strands of fleshy blood vessels extended from the crack, intertwining with the veins and blood vessels of the Sharingan, gradually stitching those dull Sharingan eyes into the palms.

Gurgle!
A strange sound of flesh rubbing against flesh echoed in the cave. Two scarlet eyeballs, like the most perfect mortise and tenon structure, slowly sank into the flesh pit prepared for them.

The emerald green light belonging to the Palm Immortal Technique illuminated the cave, and the triangle and inscribed circle on Gray Glass's head began to rotate, one to the left and one to the right.

Click, click, click!
The three gates of life, bound by chakra chains, are gradually unsealed, flowing with a pure source of life.

Under the combined control of Yang Release chakra and Byakugan power, this life force representing the origin of the human body flowed along the meridians to the palm, completely connecting and merging the Sharingan and the meridians in Hairi's palm!
hum!
The Sharingan eyes, perfectly stitched together and embedded in the palm of his hand, suddenly shone brightly.

The vibrant purple chakra flowed through the connected meridians, and the three tomoe inside gradually accelerated their rotation, while the scarlet yin eye power transformed infinitely within.

Just two minutes.

The plug-and-play Sharingan has been perfectly sewn into Gray Glass's palm.

"how do you feel?"

The Yang Escape clone took two steps forward, looked at the main body who was closing its eyes and carefully sensing, and asked with a face full of curiosity.

Excluding the Sage Body, the original body has now collected all of Kaguya Otsutsuki's abilities. The Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku can create a synergistic effect of 'body manipulation,' and the Sharingan might also bring about new changes in her.

"It feels like... nothing new has changed."

Feeling the three tomoe continuously drawing chakra from her palm, Hui Li manipulated more chakra and life force, constantly pouring them into it, hoping that the Sharingan would bring her more surprises.

Unfortunately, even after she had fully unleashed the Sharingan's internal power, she still couldn't find anything special about it.

"The Sharingan can indeed absorb chakra and life force and convert them into ocular power, but the conversion efficiency is very low." Hui Li held the Sharingan in her palm, and the ocular power of the Byakugan and the Sharingan merged and collided, creating some ripples.

"The conversion ratio between the Byakugan's eye power and chakra is close to 1:1, while the conversion ratio between the Sharingan's eye power and chakra is 10 to 1."

In other words, it takes ten units of chakra to convert into one unit of Sharingan power, which is extremely energy-consuming. Keeping the Sharingan active for a long time is almost equivalent to continuously releasing 'Wind Release: Rotation'.

Compared to chakra, life force is converted at a slightly higher efficiency. Approximately fifteen units of life force can be converted into one unit of Sharingan power.

"Wait a minute!"

The Yang Release clone rolled its eyes and calculated for a long time: "Which is more efficient to convert, life force or chakra? I don't understand."

"Of course, it has a higher efficiency in converting life force."
Hui Li manipulated the power within the Sharingan and found that the power was very sluggish to use, unlike the Byakugan which was as easy to control as an limb.

"Our chakra mass is about three or four times that of an ordinary person, so we need to absorb ten units to convert into one unit of Sharingan power. If it were an ordinary person, it would take at least thirty units of chakra to barely obtain one unit of Sharingan power."

The quality of our vitality shouldn't be much different from that of ordinary people; thirty to fifteen, naturally the conversion efficiency of vitality is higher.

"That's way too low."

The Yang Release clone grinned, knowing that if the same chakra were used in the Byakugan, it could be activated 24/7.

Because the Byakugan consumes chakra much faster than her chakra core automatically synthesizes.

Even with the Sharingan at full power, her chakra could only last for a maximum of one hour; the difference is far more than just thirty times.

No wonder Kakashi's body is so weak; even three tomoe consume so much chakra. If he were to use the Mangekyou Sharingan once, the chakra consumption would be unimaginable.

Hui Li also felt that this conversion efficiency was too low, but there was nothing she could do about it. The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was not really a hot-plug-in, plug-and-play device.

According to the experimental notes of the Second Hokage of Root, the Sharingan is essentially a very special kind of chakra that the Uchiha clan's brain automatically forms when experiencing strong emotions.

This special Yin Release chakra converges with the outside world through the eyes, ultimately reflecting a unique pattern in the pupils. Therefore, the true name of the Sharingan is—the Eye of the Mind's Reflection. From the single tomoe mark, the Sharingan has always been the Eye of the Mind's Reflection!

The three most basic tomoe represent the three talents of a ninja, and also the three powers that every ninja pursues deep in their heart.

Representative of physical skills: dynamic vision, neural reflexes, and anticipation of actions.

Representing illusion: hypnosis, illusion counter-magic, and seeing through disguise.

Representative of ninjutsu: sensing chakra flow, copying ninjutsu, and seeing through the weaknesses of ninjutsu.

The three tomoe encompass the three powers of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. Once awakened, even the most ordinary Uchiha will instantly transform from a mediocre talent into a raw, all-around ninja.

And there's no need to worry about chakra.

The Sharingan's characteristic of generating yin from yang is best when there is enough chakra naturally. If there is not enough chakra, it will forcibly squeeze out life force to convert eye power and chakra, and naturally enter a state of burning life.

The principles behind all bloodline diseases are the same.

From the three-tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Uchiha's brain needs to generate that special chakra again. The Mind-Reflecting Eyes then generate new patterns, giving birth to all sorts of strange eye techniques.

Obito, who wanted to escape reality, obtained Kamui: Hollowfication; Kakashi, who wanted to expel the Three-Tails from Rin's body, obtained the more aggressive, ranged Kamui.

Driven by external pressures and a desire to control everything around him, Itachi Uchiha obtained Tsukuyomi. Furthermore, due to the death of his close friend, his anger surged uncontrollably, leading him to acquire the indestructible Amaterasu Black Flame.

In short.

The various strange patterns on the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan are merely superficial; the Yin Release chakra born within their brains is the most important thing.

Without this special chakra, or if it doesn't match the Sharingan's original chakra, then one can only forcibly convert it using life force and a large amount of chakra, which is naturally extremely inefficient.

Even controlling it has become extremely difficult.

Danzo's Sharingan could only use Izanagi for one minute, while Obito Uchiha could use it for three minutes. If the opponent had been ruthless enough to embed a few three-tomoe gems in his arm, her Yang Release clones would have already perished at Raikōzan.

As for the evolution of the Sharingan, that is a hundred times more difficult than controlling the Sharingan.

Even a ninja of average talent, exhausting all his chakra and life force, cannot evolve a two-tomoe ninja into a three-tomoe ninja.

As for the Mangekyou Sharingan, the research data on the Second Hokage is vague.

However, Hui Li felt that even with Hashirama cells providing energy, the chance of evolving into the Mangekyou Sharingan was almost zero, and the subsequent Eternal Eye and Rinnegan were out of the question.

Kakashi's case is probably just an exception.

The chakra resonance generated when Obito awakened also awakened Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan. In reality, it had nothing to do with whether or not he killed Rin. Even if he hid in the dark room watching Icha Icha Paradise every day, his Mangekyou Sharingan would still awaken.

Of course, different emotions will result in different pupil techniques.

The Kamui awakened by Icha Icha Paradise might not necessarily awaken any extraordinary eye techniques.

"So, can the Sharingan actually act as a life filter?" Seeing that her main body's expression wasn't very good, the Yang Release clone asked the question that she was most concerned about at the moment.

For the sake of those Sharingan eyes, she traveled all the way to Mount Raigu and even fought Obito Uchiha. If she still couldn't get them, all her efforts would have been in vain.

A glint of light flashed in his ashen pupils. Gray Glass's brain kept simulating various scenarios, but in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"No one knows whether it will work before they try."

The Sharingan and Hashirama cells each represent the extremes of Yin and Yang, using the intangible power of extreme Yin to simulate the tangible shell of extreme Yang, thus exhausting the wonders of Yin and Yang transformation.

If that doesn't work... then there's really nothing more that can be done!

The two remained silent for a moment, both feeling a headache, but they also knew how incredibly powerful the ninjutsu they had developed was.

Throughout the thousand-year history of the ninja world, there have been countless brilliant ninjas, but there is only one Hashirama Senju, and she is only one step away from becoming the god of ninjas!
If she succeeds in this step, her vitality and chakra will grow infinitely, and her future path will be smooth before she reaches the Six Paths.

It can be said that reversing the Eight Gates is her method to becoming a god!

Not only can it not fail, but it must also be developed as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the less time it has to grow, and the more variables there will be in the future.

Hui Li's gaze was firm, and her hands were already forming a cross in front of her chest.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!!!
boom!
A large cloud of smoke and dust suddenly appeared inside the cave.

The Yang-style clone coughed and waved his hand, and a gust of wind dispersed the smoke, revealing sixty-six silver-haired girls dressed in white robes.

"so much?"

The pupils of the Yang Release clone contracted slightly.

She understands Hui Li better than anyone else; there's no way her main body could possibly create so many shadow clones!

There's only one possibility for creating so many shadow clones!
"Whoosh..."

Hui Li's face was as pale as paper, the purple core of her heart pounded, and the pattern on her smooth forehead slowly rotated, releasing green energy from the three large doors.

Burning one's life force to obtain excess chakra is necessary to sustain the consumption of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Once the Reverse Eight Gates are fully developed, the lost life force can be easily replenished.

Without the threat of Gray Bone's bloodline disease to her life, she finally dared to use the Eight Gates so recklessly.

"I'm leaving all external affairs to you; I'm going into seclusion here."

"clear."

The Yang Release clone looked at the shadow clones that had already filled the cramped cave, and clearly sensed the original body's determination.

She picked up the still-motionless sharkskin from the ground, hoisted it onto her shoulder, and turned to walk out of the cave.

Samehada has a huge appetite every day. All of its chakra is used to release the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, leaving no energy left to sustain its daily needs.

She also needs to find a way to acquire more chakra to replenish the losses from developing ninjutsu on her main body. She can't keep consuming her life force to develop the Reverse Eight Gates.

My body absolutely cannot hold up.

She needs to go back to the Root base and borrow some chakra from the death row inmates in the prison. If that's still not enough... there's a huge chakra source in the basement of the Experiment Department.

I wonder if Samehada can absorb Hashirama's chakra. I hope it can live up to expectations.
