Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"However, the most powerful pupil technique of these eyes is time reversal..."

"No, to be precise, it should be called the constant standing of heaven."

After obtaining Urashiki Otsutsuki's abilities, Yoruichi Yagami immediately understood the composition and principles of his eye technique.

The Byakugan is quite ordinary; it's the standard Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan, and there's not much difference between it and the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. It's just that the Byakugan is purer and has stronger eye power.

It also lacks the bloodline conquest ability of Kaguya Otsutsuki's "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack".

The red six-tomoe Rinnegan has two associated abilities.

First, it enhances the bloodline gathering ability [Yomotsu Hirasaka], which is almost entirely mastered by the Otsutsuki clan, making it faster, more concealed, and capable of transmitting over greater distances.

Secondly, it involves creating special Yin-Yang Release weapons. Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's fishing rod and fish basket were made using these two Rinnegan.

The blue Rinnegan, in addition to the gravitational, repulsive, and manipulating Gedo Mazo powers common to all Rinnegan, possesses a special eye technique called 'Ten no Toki no Tate'.

The effect is to manipulate time or space.

At any given time, one can only control one of the two, and can only control the time and space in which one is located.

The manipulation of time is manifested in Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's signature 'time rewind' technique, allowing him to return to a maximum of ten seconds earlier.

However, merely changing the time and environment does not change one's own state.

Even if you have just been injured, you cannot use this ability to 'reset' to your state before the injury.

Even so, this ability is still very strong.

Moreover, the stronger the user, the more incredible the effect.

It's a very simple principle.

The higher the level of combat, the more important 'forgiveness' becomes.

The ability to go back in time can significantly improve the margin of error.

If you choose the wrong approach, you can simply turn back time and do it all over again.

Apart from methods like poisoning and cursing, the vast majority of attacks can be perfectly avoided by time reversal.

This ability is of great significance even to Yoruichi Yagami in her current state.

In comparison, the ability to manipulate space is of much lower value.

It's not that this ability is weak, but rather that Yagami Yoruichi already possesses many spatial abilities, so she doesn't need this one.

In addition to these basic abilities, Urashiki Otsutsuki also has a desperate move that can be called his 'trump card'.

Eat your own eyes and enter 'Form Two', also known as 'Birdman Form'.

The official name of this ability is 'Crane Form', but perhaps because Urashiki Otsutsuki himself is not good-looking, he looks absolutely hideous after transforming.

However ugly it may be, its intensity is very high.

After transforming, one will lose all eye techniques except for the basic abilities of the Rinnegan, but one's physical strength will increase significantly, and one's chakra will also undergo a qualitative change.

Although there is no change in 'quantity', the 'quality' will be significantly improved.

This is equivalent to being promoted by half a level in rank.

However, once you enter this state, you will permanently lose the three eye techniques: the Byakugan, the red tomoe Rinnegan, and the blue Rinnegan.

It's a desperate last resort, used only in life-or-death situations.

"Otsutsuki Urashiki's own rank should not have truly reached the Six Paths level, but rather be somewhere between the Super Kage level and the Six Paths level. Only when he enters the so-called 'Sage Crane Form' can he be considered a true Six Paths level."

Yagami Yoruichi seemed to be deep in thought.

The Otsutsuki clan is indeed very strong.

Even Urashiki Otsutsuki, who was known as the "Shame of the Otsutsuki," possessed the strength to reach the Six Paths level when fighting desperately.

However...

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at his attribute panel.

As a fellow Six Paths level expert, Yagami Yoruichi fears no enemy.

“Oh, right…” Yagami Yoruichi suddenly remembered something and quickly activated the power of 'Frost Witch - Lissandra' to create a mirror made of ice in front of her.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror and confirming that it was still her own appearance, and not that she had transformed into Urashiki Otsutsuki, Yagami Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief.

If that handsome face were to turn into the ugly appearance of Urashiki Otsutsuki, Yoruichi Yagami would not be able to accept it.

He switched between the Byakugan, the red Rinnegan with tomoe, the blue Rinnegan, and his own black eyes.

Yoruichi Yagami confirmed that using the power of Urashiki Otsutsuki stored in "The Emperor's Decree" would not change her appearance.

At most, the eyes will change when the corresponding pupil technique is used, and that's all.

Not only will his facial features not become as ugly as Urashiki Otsutsuki, but his skin will not become the pale, paper-like color of the Otsutsuki clan, and he will not grow horns on his forehead.

Although Yagami Yoruichi could accept this appearance, it was still her original appearance that best suited her aesthetic.

"Things went fairly smoothly, we can go back now."

Yagami Yoruichi looked around, put away Otsutsuki Urashiki's corpse, and then set off a fire that burned away the omnipresent dark curse in the 'Rinne Absolute' space.

After doing all this, Yoruichi Yagami finally broke free from the 'Rinne Reincarnation Impasse' and returned to the real world.

At this point, less than ten minutes had passed since Urashiki Otsutsuki descended into this world.

It was teleported back to Kurenai's side, replacing the clone that was protecting her.

Despite Yagami Yoruichi's discreet actions, Yuhi Kurenai noticed the change and looked at Yagami Yoruichi: "You're back? Is everything alright?"

"It's been resolved, so you can watch the game with peace of mind now." Yagami Yoruichi smiled slightly and said, "There might be a surprise in a while."

The corpse of Otsutsuki Urashiki is a veritable treasure.

If we can discover something from this research and use human technology to enhance and modify it, everyone around Yoruichi Yagami will benefit.

Chapter 262 Shion: I'll be the boss, you'll be the underlings.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's death did not cause any ripples in the world.

The second round of the Chunin Exams proceeded as scheduled.

At night, after a day of fierce competition, most of the participating teams were exhausted and found a place they thought was safe to set up camp and rest.

The ninjas from various villages who were 'supervising' the exams also went to rest in shifts.

The second round of exams lasts for a whole month, and even a Jonin would not be able to endure it if they could not take turns resting.

The ninja training system still relies heavily on eating and sleeping until they reach the Six Paths level.

Only by reaching the Six Paths level can one abandon the needs of an ordinary person and survive solely by relying on chakra and natural energy.

Of all the living beings on this planet, only Yoruichi Yagami could do that.

However, Yoruichi Yagami does not like to live like a 'god' without desires. Instead, she tries to maintain a normal lifestyle whenever time permits.

That night, after most of the examinees had fallen asleep, Yagami Yoruichi, along with Yuhi Kurenai, was teleported back to their residence in the Fire Country Metropolis.

After wolfing down their dinner, Yagami Yoruichi pulled Yuhi Kurenai towards the bedroom.

What's the rush?

Knowing what was going to happen tonight, Kurenai blushed and said, "Go take a shower first! I'm filthy after running around outside all day!"

Unlike its boldness during the day, the sunset was now shy and only wanted to prolong the time.

Yagami Yoruichi couldn't stand it any longer. He picked up Kurenai Yuhi and strode towards the bathroom, saying, "Let's shower together!"

"You bastard!"

A startled cry came from the woman with red hair at sunset, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

Bang~!

The bathroom door was closed.

A moment later, a series of sounds that made people blush were heard.

……

At the same time.

The northern border of the Land of Fire.

A great battle broke out here.

A legion of ghostly beings surrounded Karin Uzumaki and her two companions.

There weren't many, only a few dozen.

However, each of the immortal warriors received the power of Shion, which boosted their strength to a level comparable to that of an elite Jonin.

Although she only knows simple slashing techniques, each attack is as powerful as a Jonin-level offensive ninjutsu.

With a single sword strike, a tree several meters in diameter can be easily cut in half.

The speed was astonishing.

Of the three women, Karin Uzumaki is already quite skilled in taijutsu, while Hinata Hyuga has mastered the Leyton Chakra Mode, which allows her to stimulate her body's cells with lightning chakra to accelerate their speed. This allows her to easily entangle with these immortal warriors.

However, Yakumo Kurama's physique was very poor. Even after receiving life force from Yoruichi Yagami, he only recovered to the level of a normal ninja, and his taijutsu was at most at the level of a Chunin.

Faced with this group of immortal warriors who have no self-awareness and completely ignore illusions, Kurama Yakumo was immediately in danger and could only barely evade the enemy's attacks with the support of Uzumaki Karin and Hyuga Hinata.

"Aster!"

Karin Uzumaki shouted into the distance, "Are you going to settle things with us right now?! What kind of trick is this, using a summoning beast to ambush us? If you're so capable, come out and fight us fair and square!"

The four girls, personally taught by Yagami Yoruichi, were all very familiar with each other.

They all knew very well that Shion was the strongest among the four women.

However, if they don't use the Netherworld Legion and instead engage in a fair and square head-on confrontation, the outcome is still uncertain.

With the three women working together, they have a real chance of defeating Shion and her teammates.

But Shion herself didn't show up at all; she just released this group of unkillable warriors, and they were completely helpless.

Even if Karin Uzumaki's sealing technique can seal the immortal warriors, Shion will immediately summon a new one after sealing one, so she can't seal them all.

When they were training together, Karin and the others witnessed Shion summoning the Netherworld Legion with all her might.

Even with Karin Uzumaki's naturally enormous chakra reserves, she couldn't possibly withstand tens of thousands of immortal warriors.

"Damn it, I still considered her a friend!" Karin Uzumaki muttered under her breath, "But she couldn't resist and came to ambush us on the very first night!"

"Can you pinpoint the location?" Yakumo Kurama asked. "If the distance isn't too far, perhaps my illusion magic can..."

"Your illusion magic only lasts for a maximum distance of one kilometer. Beyond one kilometer, its power will be greatly reduced."

Hinata Hyuga fired an arrow, pinning an immortal warrior to the ground. He then used his Byakugan to observe the distance and said, "Shion has been keeping a distance of more than two kilometers from us. Your genjutsu is useless. My lightning arrow could easily dodge from this position."

The girls knew each other too well; they were all aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Since Shion was going to attack them, she certainly wouldn't give them a chance to fight back.

“Two kilometers…” Yakumo Kurama lay on Karin Uzumaki’s back, a look of resentment on his face: “At this distance, my five senses cannot control her.”

"Wait!" Karin Uzumaki suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.

'Aster' emerged from the woods and walked towards the group.

Kurama Yakumo picked up his paintbrush and sketchbook, ready to begin, but Hinata Hyuga stopped him: "This is a clone, don't waste your chakra."

Hinata Hyuga's Byakugan was fixed on Shion's location, and she witnessed Shion create a clone and send it over, while her original body remained in place.

Moreover, this clone is not a powerful shadow clone, but an ordinary clone with no combat ability whatsoever, which can only be used to confuse the enemy.

Because of this, Hinata Hyuga was able to use her Byakugan to confirm that it was a clone rather than the original.

If it's a shadow clone, the Byakugan won't be able to detect it.

As Shion's clone approached, the Undead Warriors' offensive slowed down slightly, merely suppressing the three women's positions and preventing them from escaping the encirclement.

“Let’s talk,” Ziyuan said. “I have no intention of being your enemy, I just want you to face reality.”

"I thought we were friends!" Karin Uzumaki punched an undead warrior away and angrily questioned Shion, "Don't you consider us friends?!"

“I came to talk to you because I consider you one of my own.”
