Konoha's Hextech Ninja

That's right, the Undead Legion can be summoned to Shion's side at any time and from a distance, which is very similar to summoned beasts.

As for Shion's combat strength, it's not weak, but it's not as strong as one might imagine.

Perhaps because she has not trained in combat skills, Shion is a top master in sealing.

Yoruichi Yagami tested it and found that even a clone that had just reached the threshold of the Super Kage level would be sealed by Shion within ten minutes.

However, aside from sealing, Shion has almost no combat abilities; she can only crudely and simply activate the mutated natural energy within her body.

Ten units of energy can't even unleash one unit of combat power.

It's just that its energy scale and level are high enough that it barely has the combat power of a Kage-level character.

This is the upper limit of Shion's combat power without using the 'Undead Legion'.

However, as long as she learns to control the energy within her body and uses it in battle, her strength will quickly increase, and reaching the level of a super-kage will not be difficult.

After all, the energy accumulated by generations of priestesses, when combined with the power of the demons, created an overwhelming force.

Having witnessed Shion's potential, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her talent and extended an invitation: "Would you like to come to Konoha with us? I can teach you to control the power within your body."

The energy within Ziyuan's body is a mutated form of natural energy, but in essence, it belongs to the 'Star Spirit' system.

Yoruichi Yagami herself has mastered the power of several Celestial Spirit systems and is extremely familiar with them, so she would have no problem guiding Shion.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Shion showed an expression of interest, but hesitated somewhat: "But I'm still the priestess of the Land of Demons..."

"Your only responsibility as priestesses is to seal away demons, right?" Over the past few days, Yagami Yoruichi had gained a basic understanding of the situation in the Land of Demons. She said, "You don't need to manage the Land of Demons, so it's okay if you leave, right? Besides, if you can control your power well, you can better help the people of the Land of Demons improve their living standards, can't you?"

Ashiho understood that this was a rare opportunity and advised, "My lady, please rest assured, your subordinates and ministers will take good care of everything in the Land of Demons! Please follow Yagami Yoruichi to learn and improve your strength!"

Azuho is an ordinary person who doesn't understand the world of the superhumans.

But after the incident with the demons, he also realized that only extraordinary individuals could resolve crises.

In the world of extraordinary individuals, nothing is more important than strength.

Even if the crisis of the demons has been resolved forever, who can be sure that there won't be other crises in the future?

For the Land of Demons, the stronger the priestess, the better.

Therefore, Ashiho encouraged the shrine maiden to study under Yagami Yoruichi.

After all, he had witnessed Yagami Yoruichi's power over the past few days.

The vast forest and the enormous wooden dragon left a lasting impression on Ashiho.

Hearing the advice of her most trusted minister, Shion hesitated for a moment, then bowed slightly to Yagami Yoruichi and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Yagami Yoruichi."

"I already said, just call me by my name." Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile, "You can call me brother like Hinata, or teacher like Yakumo."

Shion and Hinata Hyuga look so alike, and the latter can almost be said to have been watched grow up by Yoruichi Yagami.

In addition to her own breakthroughs, Ziyuan also played a crucial role.

With these two factors combined, Yagami Yoruichi had a very good impression of Shion, and his attitude towards her was naturally very gentle.

Shion looked at Hinata and the other two girls, countless images flashing through her eyes.

A few seconds later, Shion blushed slightly and said softly, "Okay... then please guide me, Yoruichi-nii-san."

Chapter 249 Great Name: Is There a Place for Me on the Ship of the New Era?

The metropolis of the Land of Fire.

The building next to Damingfu.

The plaque at the main entrance of the building bears a symbol resembling a Möbius strip, but no other markings indicating its identity or origin.

There were no guards at the entrance, but passersby would instinctively walk around them.

inside the building.

Yoruichi Yagami suddenly appeared in a laboratory.

Kabuto, who was processing experimental materials, saw Yoruichi Yagami and quickly bowed, saying, "Yoruichi-sama!"

Orochimaru, who was conducting an experiment with his back to Yagami Yoruichi, suddenly stiffened upon hearing Kabuto's words. He slowly turned around, examined Yagami Yoruichi, and then said, "I can't sense your presence at all?"

Yoruichi Yagami was standing right there.

However, if it weren't for the naked eye, Orochimaru would not have been able to detect Yoruichi Yagami's presence at all.

Although he is not a pure sensory ninja, Orochimaru's sensory abilities are not bad after he made significant modifications to his body.

Even in close-range perception, it is stronger than many professional sensory ninjas.

However, he was completely unaware of Yagami Yoruichi's presence.

This greatly surprised Orochimaru.

A sense of fear even arose within them.

Yagami Yoruichi didn't respond, but changed the subject, saying, "What have you been researching lately? I heard you've applied for a lot of test subjects; you've almost used up all the prisoners in the Land of Fire."

Orochimaru assumed that Yagami Yoruichi had come to interrogate him, and couldn't help but argue, "I've completed all the tasks you assigned me. Doing my own thing doesn't violate the organization's rules, does it?"

“You’ve misunderstood. After the organization’s mission is completed, you are free to do whatever you want.” Yagami Yoruichi waved her hand and said, “I just want to know what you’re researching.”

Hearing Yagami Yoruichi's explanation, Orochimaru's expression softened somewhat, and he said, "Do you still remember those children I brought back before?"

child?

Yagami Yoruichi nodded slightly.

Orochimaru is a notorious 'human trafficker' in the ninja world, who enjoys abducting children with special talents.

During the previous turmoil in Kirigakure, Orochimaru abducted many children with bloodline limits from Kirigakure.

"I remember, didn't you plan to train them?" Yagami Yoruichi asked doubtfully, "Have you changed your mind and are planning to use them as test subjects?"

Under the constraints and influence of Yoruichi Yagami, Orochimaru became somewhat more like a 'human being,' and his original character, who disregarded all life and sought only 'truth,' changed considerably.

The children he abducted were all trained by Orochimaru as his subordinates, rather than being used as mere tools.

“It’s Kimimaro. You asked me to replicate the Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit and find a way to transplant it.” Orochimaru explained, “While completing this project, I discovered that Kimimaro’s body had a problem. I suspect it’s a bloodline disease and I’m looking for a treatment.”

"Kimimaro?" Yagami Yoruichi suddenly realized.

Kaguya Kimimaro, the strongest successor of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse).

He was a rare genius in Kirigakure, but fate was cruel, and he contracted a bloodline disease at a young age.

Yoruichi Yagami knew about this, but she didn't expect that Kimimaro Kaguya's bloodline disease would flare up so early.

“Bloodline diseases are troublesome. If needed, I can ask Tsunade for help,” Yagami Yoruichi said.

Kimimaro Kaguya played an indispensable role in completing the research on 'transplanting corpse bone veins'.

Although he was only studied by Orochimaru as an 'experimental subject'.

But the credit is real.

Now that he has health problems, Yagami Yoruichi doesn't mind using some resources to try to cure him.

With Kaguya Kimimaro's talent, as long as his bloodline disease is cured and he is properly trained, he will be at least a Kage-level character in the future.

If one can develop the Corpse Bone Pulse to an extremely high level, reaching the Super Shadow level is not impossible.

After all, it is descended from the bloodline of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Even if their bloodline is incomplete, their potential far surpasses that of ordinary humans in the ninja world.

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi added, "If Tsunade can't do anything either, I'll give it a try."

After reaching the Six Paths level, Yagami Yoruichi's understanding of Yin Release and Yang Release improved rapidly.

Yoruichi Yagami had a feeling that as long as she put in the effort to study it properly, mastering the 'Six Paths - Yang Power' and 'Six Paths - Yin Power' wouldn't be a difficult thing.

If one could master the 'Six Paths - Yang Power', that power could even stop death, and treating mere bloodline diseases would be a piece of cake.

"I'll ask if I need anything." Orochimaru nodded, but didn't readily ask Yoruichi Yagami for help.

He knew very well that any request he made to Yoruichi Yagami would come at a price.

Putting aside everything else, the various precious equipment and endless experimental subjects in this laboratory are the result of his hard work and numerous scientific research achievements over the years.

The other two 'researchers,' Sasori of the Red Sand and Amado of the Three Paths, were the same.

Partly coerced and partly lured by profit, he had no choice but to serve Yagami Yoruichi and develop the scientific research results that Yagami Yoruichi needed.

With the topic of Kaguya Kimimaro settled, Orochimaru changed the subject, asking, "Did you come here this time with any new requests? The vacation you promised me isn't over yet. If we're going to start any new projects, we'll have to wait until next month."

“It’s not a new project, but something big is about to happen.” Yagami Yoruichi shook her head and said, “We’ll have a meeting in the conference room tonight, and we’ll talk about it then. You continue, I’ll go and inform the others.”

"A big move?" Orochimaru was taken aback, looking thoughtfully at the spot where Yagami Yoruichi had disappeared.

After packing his things, Kabuto walked over to Orochimaru and asked, "Lord Orochimaru?"

"It seems our leader's strength has increased significantly this time." Orochimaru licked his lips with his long tongue, revealing an excited expression. "I'm really curious, just how strong is this enemy that our leader is wary of, one that has been lying in wait for so many years!"

Orochimaru had also heard about the 'truth' of the ninja world from Yoruichi Yagami.

They also knew that Yagami Yoruichi had set up such an organization, and that her ambitions were definitely not small.

But the fact that there has been no movement for so many years is clearly due to their fear of the hidden 'masterminds' in the ninja world.

Now, it seems that Yoruichi Yagami is finally about to take action.

Does this mean that Yoruichi Yagami no longer needs to be wary of her enemies?

This reminds me of the changes in Yoruichi Yagami.

Previously, Orochimaru always felt a sense of fear, as if he were seeing his natural enemy, whenever he saw Yagami Yoruichi.

But now, that feeling has completely disappeared.

He couldn't sense any 'powerful aura' from Yagami Yoruichi; instead, she seemed like an ordinary person who didn't even have chakra.

Orochimaru knew very well that this was not because Yagami Yoruichi had become weaker, but because Yagami Yoruichi had become stronger, stronger than he had ever imagined.

Orochimaru, who was dedicated to seeking immortality and mastering the ultimate secrets of ninjutsu and chakra, could no longer suppress his overflowing curiosity and was eager to know just how powerful Yagami Yoruichi had become.

And in Yagami Yoruichi's words, just how powerful were those alien creatures who had been plotting in the ninja world for thousands of years? That they could make a strong person like Yagami Yoruichi lie low for many years until his strength underwent a qualitative change before he dared to take action.
